Patient's question:
A three-year-old child often cries after sleeping for about one to two hours at night, and it seems like they are not fully awake. What could be the reason? (If they take a nap during the day, it's better. If they don't nap, they will definitely cry at night.) Sometimes, when they are crying, it looks like they are still doing something, like searching for something or moving their hands around aimlessly. This has been going on for almost a year.Doctor's answer:
3-year-old female patient, frequently crying during sleep at night. Recommendations: It may be post-pelvic disease sequelae: This condition is more common in children over 3 years old. After treatment or natural recovery, symptoms disappear, and skeletal changes no longer progress. X-ray and blood biochemistry tests are normal, leaving varying degrees of skeletal deformities. Cure criteria: Symptoms have disappeared for 1–3 months, signs have reduced or returned to normal, and no changes are observed for 3–6 months. Mild to moderate cases generally do not leave sequelae. Severe cases may leave varying degrees of skeletal deformities. X-ray and blood biochemistry tests are normal, or only show a temporary widening of the calcification band and increased density. Daily care: Health education should be conducted to prevent and treat rickets, making full use of natural conditions and strongly advocating sun exposure. When using vitamin D to prevent and treat, the dosage and timing should be carefully controlled, and close observation should be maintained.
