The baby is seven months old, but he doesn't smile when you tease him. Could it be a problem with his intelligence?

Patient's question:

Moreover, from the moment they were born, they were particularly prone to crying and fussing. As long as they are awake, they constantly cry and fuss.
Could it be an issue with intelligence? How should it be checked?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: The child may be crying easily due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to check serum calcium. Children usually start laughing at around four months old. Now that the child is seven months old, it is recommended to check for intellectual issues first by doing a CT scan and an electroencephalogram.
