Nine-month-old baby, unable to hold head steady, delayed motor development

Patient's question:

At four months, it was discovered that the head could not be lifted. At nine months, it is still unstable, unable to roll over or sit up. The baby can actively grasp objects but is not flexible, showing clear abnormalities. There were no abnormal conditions at birth; the baby was full-term. The head circumference is small, and muscle tone is high. Currently, symptoms such as plantar flexion and spinal hyperextension have appeared.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, it is likely caused by calcium deficiency or trace element deficiency. You can get tested to check, and it's a good idea to supplement with calcium appropriately. Additionally, you can take Schiff Calcium and fish oil for treatment. Make sure to get adequate rest and ensure a well-rounded increase in nutrition.
