Patient's question:
Taking naps and shaking your head all the time, what could be the reason?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been mentioned.
Desired help: Want to know why this is happening and what to do about it.
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, in general, if the baby shakes their head frequently after falling asleep, it may be due to conditions such as eczema, calcium deficiency, or scalp itching. Please pay close attention to observing the baby's head condition carefully, and don't be too anxious—this should not be a serious issue. Pay attention to digesting calcium and taking fish oil supplements, while also ensuring the baby gets plenty of sunlight. Additionally, eating foods high in calcium is beneficial for the child's healthy growth and can also improve the quality of deep sleep. If necessary, take the baby to the hospital for a blood test to check for trace elements to confirm the issue. A trace element test only requires a small finger-prick blood sample. Wishing the baby good health!
