What is the situation of a child crying at night?

Patient's question:

The child is 6.5 months old. At night, they cry drowsily during naps. What could be the reason? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None. Regardless of what kind of assistance is needed: What should be done.

Doctor's answer:

Six months after the child again exhibited the symptoms you described, it is a manifestation of night terrors. For a six-month-old child, the first consideration for the recurrence of this condition is a lack of calcium or vitamin D in the body.
Advice: If the child is deficient in vitamin D, it can lead to increased calcium absorption in the intestines. If the child's blood calcium concentration is low, it may cause the symptoms you described to recur during deep sleep. Therefore, it is recommended to first provide the child with calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
