Patient's question:
My baby is one month old and is showing signs of malnutrition, possibly due to calcium deficiency. What are the symptoms of calcium deficiency in babies?Doctor's answer:
The baby may again exhibit irritability, frequently crying. After falling asleep, they may experience recurring thirst and be prone to developing (a condition where hair thins on the back of the head due to friction with the mattress). Calcium deficiency can make it difficult to fall asleep, and once asleep, the baby may wake up crying. Teething may also be delayed, and they might experience a loss of appetite.During treatment, patients should adhere to a balanced diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, actively engage in physical exercise, and regulate both physical and mental well-being. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene and avoid infections due to weakened immunity.
