Patient's question:
My son is seven months old. He always cries at night, especially before sleep, often crying for a long time. He is also restless when sleeping, sometimes suddenly crying or twisting his body, rubbing his head, shaking his head, but without sweating. He usually falls asleep around 11 o'clock, gets up twice in the middle of the night for feeding, and wakes up again at 6 or 7 in the morning.Doctor's answer:
Children with rickets should participate more in outdoor activities. They should be exposed to sunlight and fresh air. Sunlight is a crucial element in preventing rickets. However, it is important to avoid excessive skin exposure. The time spent in the sun can be gradually increased. Breastfeeding is the best option. Food should be supplemented promptly to ensure that children receive all the necessary nutrients for their growth and development. Maintain good ventilation in the room and keep toys and utensils used by children clean and hygienic. This is especially important during hot summer months. Parents should not cover children with blankets to prevent excessive sweating. If children sweat, they must be wiped dry promptly with a soft cloth.
