Patient's question:
Now it's almost seven months, and my child is on mixed feeding. They have now started on solid foods. During this period, they haven't been sleeping well at night, waking up roughly every hour. Can they digest liquid calcium? How many should they take per day, and for how long should they continue? My child previously took Zhuanggu granules for half a month without any effect, and they didn't like it either, so I want to switch to liquid calcium. Could the doctors please provide some calcium supplementation advice based on my child's situation? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described, it is recommended to take the baby to the children's health department of a local regular hospital for a follow-up visit and a health check-up. Blood tests should also be repeated. If the health check results indicate low calcium, calcium supplements can be taken, along with oral vitamin D supplements, and getting more sun exposure can help with calcium absorption. The above suggestions are for the question "Is the child not sleeping well due to calcium deficiency?" It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
