Patient's question:
The child is over two years old. When sleeping, they keep kicking their legs. But when they fall asleep, the legs relax. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally there are some signs of calcium deficiency. When sleeping, it's important to maintain a quiet environment. For calcium supplementation, you can use calcium or calcium gluconate. Based on this situation, you can also supplement with magnesium. Particularly for those who primarily rely on milk as a calcium source, it's even more important to supplement with magnesium. The best way to supplement with magnesium is to take calcium-magnesium tablets.Follow-up question: I also pull my hair while sleeping. What deficiency might this indicate?
Reply: This could be subconscious, so don't worry.
