Patient's question:
Patient Age: -8My sister's child was born 25 days ago, and in these past few days, they have been crying at night and having difficulty sleeping.
Previous Treatment and Effect: They have seen doctors several times. Some said it was a cold or stomach pain, while others said it was calcium deficiency. We don't know whom to believe.
What kind of help I want: I want to know what is going on.
Doctor's answer:
Considering the possible reasons for the child's potential calcium deficiency, it is recommended to have a blood calcium test at the hospital to determine if there is indeed a calcium deficiency. If calcium supplementation is needed, oral calcium gluconate can be taken, combined with vitamin D to enhance calcium absorption. If the condition does not improve, it is advisable to seek medical treatment as soon as possible. The above suggestions are for the question "Why does my 25-day-old baby cry at night and have difficulty sleeping?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
