Patient's question:
Dear expert, my son is one and a half years old. He has always had trouble sleeping since he was a baby, often waking up multiple times at night. I have had his trace elements checked many times, and the results have always been within the normal range. I have never stopped giving him calcium supplements, but now he wakes up at least four or five times every night, sometimes even more. It's exhausting me. I have consulted many experts, and they all say that the clothing, bedding, and room temperature should be comfortable. I have done all of that. Some experts even suggested that I give my child five days of Libenin (a sedative) to help regulate his sleep. However, I don't know if this medication is beneficial for children. Others recommended that I give my child Phenargan syrup before bed. I checked the instructions, and it is a cough syrup.Doctor's answer:
??????Precautions for Insomnia: It is important to appropriately alleviate your own stress during the day. You can eat some millet porridge or warm milk (drink it half an hour before bed), take a warm bath in the evening, which helps improve sleep. It is also necessary to maintain a regular sleep schedule and try to go to bed before 10 PM at night to avoid disrupting your biological clock. Develop good sleep habits. Engage in appropriate exercise to strengthen physical fitness. Since this is a neurological disorder, it is recommended to undergo an FNS examination and receive treatment through medical devices.Lifestyle Care: Eating a small amount of food before bed can promote sleep, such as milk or foods rich in carbonated compounds. Regular physical exercise can enhance deep sleep at night. Experts suggest that scheduling exercise at a fixed time before 6 PM in the evening is a good measure for children's sleep health.
