Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The child is allergic to milk and loves to eat at least twice at night, requiring anti-allergic milk powder. There is no family history of genetic diseases. What kind of assistance is desired: The child wants to consult the experts about what illness they are suffering from.Doctor's answer:
Full-term babies should start taking 400 units of vitamin D daily from the 15th day after birth to enhance calcium absorption. If they miss taking it on time, it may lead to symptoms of calcium deficiency. Excessive sweating, deep sleep disturbances, frequent waking, and bald spots on the head are typical signs of calcium deficiency. If these symptoms appear, it is important to visit the hospital for a trace element test to determine the extent and severity of the calcium deficiency. If calcium deficiency is confirmed, calcium supplementation treatment is necessary.
