Patient's question:
Children 21 days old. They always cry during naps. Apart from sudden startles, is it normal to have a bowel movement once? It's about the size of a duck egg. The son is drinking about 200 yuan worth of milk powder. What kind of assistance is needed: How can it be determined at home? Is it possible to be calcium deficient?Doctor's answer:
When the body lacks calcium, the first symptoms are soft skull bones, large fontanelles, and a feeling like a ping-pong ball when pressing the skull. Later, the shape of the chest bones becomes abnormal, such as a protruding sternum resembling pigeon chest or outwardly flared lower ribs. If the lower limbs are soft, standing and bearing weight can lead to "O" legs or "X" legs. In addition to skeletal changes, early symptoms include excessive sweating at night, baldness on the back of the head forming, restless deep sleep, and easily being startled.Methods to supplement calcium:
