Patient's question:
Patient Age: Eight and a half monthsAt night, especially in the second half of the night, the baby's head keeps swaying back and forth, either rubbing their face or ears with their hands. Their eyes are closed as they move, and they start crying after moving for a while.
Could this be due to a certain factor or cause? Could it be a calcium deficiency or rickets? It doesn't happen during the day, only at night.
Recently, the baby has been getting mouth ulcers frequently, which heal on their own after a few days.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, the rickets mentioned in medicine are not caused by calcium deficiency as commonly believed by the general public, but rather by a lack of vitamin D. Your child currently has mild, and should be given EKIN (Vitamin D drops) orally.
