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 infants?Doctor's answer:
A one-month-old baby with calcium deficiency mainly shows symptoms such as restlessness during sleep, easy waking up, and crying. They may also sweat excessively and have sparse hair. Parents should pay attention to administering calcium and vitamin D supplements to the child under the guidance of a doctor to enhance calcium absorption. During the day, the child can be exposed to sunlight more often. Breastfeeding mothers should drink bone broth, as the baby can also absorb calcium through breast milk.The patient should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and alcohol, and engage in more physical exercise to improve their immunity and prevent the condition from recurring.
