Patient's question:
The child is still under a month old, only 22 days old, and is a boy. He is bottle-fed, consuming 80-90 milliliters per feeding, and is fed every 3-4 hours. He drinks some water in between. From birth until now, everything has been normal, including his bowel movements, urination, and body temperature. He only cries when he is hungry or when he needs to be changed. After being changed, he falls asleep immediately.In the past three days, he has been restless and crying at night. It seems like he is sweating slightly, and the situation has made both the adults and the child unable to rest during the day or at night. What could be the cause of this? Is it necessary to supplement with calcium?
Doctor's answer:
The child's condition may be related to calcium deficiency. You can take Icicle Vitamin A and D drops and Gailede Compound Calcium Carbonate Granules, which have a good effect. Calcium and vitamin D must be supplemented at the same time. Vitamin D is the carrier for calcium ions to be absorbed by the human body. Without vitamin D, even if there is a lot of calcium, it will not be absorbed. Generally, the child's symptoms will significantly improve within about a week.
