Patient's question:
My son has been experiencing a situation where he falls asleep but wakes up again after a while recently. Moreover, there have been several instances where he was startled awake. So, I want to ask what could be causing him to easily wake up at night and what can be done about it?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take the child to the hospital to check for trace elements. Check if the child has a zinc or calcium deficiency. If there are abnormalities, it is best to take medication for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Combine with oral vitamin D3 drops, get more sun exposure, and avoid letting the child sleep too much during the day. Additionally, dinner should be light. High-calorie foods should be consumed in moderation. I wonder if the child has been playing too wildly during the day recently?
