Patient's question:
How to deal with a three-year-old child who often cries at night?Doctor's answer:
A child aged 3-4 years often cries at night. This is a symptom of night terrors, which is often associated with calcium deficiency. Many children experience this. It is recommended to have a blood calcium test at the hospital for a clear diagnosis. If calcium deficiency is confirmed, calcium supplementation should be administered. Calcium supplements such as calcium gluconate oral solution can be taken, along with vitamin D to promote calcium absorption. If the night terrors are caused by calcium deficiency, the symptoms should disappear after calcium supplementation.
