Patient's question:
My baby is one month old and is showing some signs of malnutrition, such as calcium deficiency. What are the symptoms of calcium deficiency in babies?Doctor's answer:
Infants lacking calcium mainly show symptoms such as difficulty sleeping, unease falling asleep, easy startle reflexes, crying, and bald patches on the head. As they grow older, they may also experience delayed teething, picky eating or meat deficiency, and delayed walking. It is essential to enhance nutrition, digest AD drops, and ensure a balanced diet after introducing complementary foods. Consume more high-quality protein-rich foods, such as milk, beans, and eggs, and get plenty of sunlight. Patients should develop a regular sleep schedule, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
