Patient's question:
Hello! My baby is a boy, born on July 12, 2005. But in the first two months, I noticed that he had a patch of hair loss at the back of his head. Also, he never sleeps peacefully; he often wakes up suddenly while sleeping and gets startled by any slight movement. Additionally, sometimes I hear his stomach gurgling, and he usually has one bowel movement a day, but it's not on a fixed schedule, and the stool is always gray, like it's undigested. Based on these symptoms, I've been searching online and found that Goutou disease shares similar symptoms, which makes me very worried. I don't know what to do. (Note: I have been taking calcium and fish oil supplements.)Doctor's answer:
This is mostly related to sleep cycles. Children tend to wake up during the transition between light and deep sleep. When children are sleepy, they may feel uncomfortable and need parents' help to take a nap. At the same time, it is also necessary to help children gradually develop good sleep habits, which can all contribute to improving sleep quality.
