Patient's question:
After the full moon, the baby almost doesn't sleep during the day, and nighttime sleep time is less than ten hours, accompanied by crying and sudden startles, unable to sleep soundly. Even when asleep, the eyes are half open. Online experts say this is due to calcium deficiency, but after checking at the hospital, it turns out there is no calcium deficiency. Can such a young child still take calcium supplements if there is no calcium deficiency? What methods are there? I am really in a hurry. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the baby lacks vitamin D, rickets caused by calcium supplements can lead to symptoms such as excessive sweating, bald spots on the head, night sweats, and skeletal deformities. It is recommended to visit the pediatric health care department for timely examination and treatment based on the condition, and to get more sun exposure.
