Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the clinical data you provided, it is highly likely that your child is suffering from sleep terrors, which are early manifestations of vitamin D deficiency rickets caused by calcium deficiency. This is quite common in current clinical practice. It is recommended to take Icicle and Gluconate Calcium oral liquid under the guidance of a local pediatrician in person, and the condition will improve quickly. If accompanied by fever or abdominal pain, it may be a cold or stomachache, and it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are no other abnormalities in the body, it may be related to excessive daytime sleep.
