Patient's question:
A 38-day-old baby sometimes suddenly pouts, looks like a cross-eyed chicken, and arches their neck backward. What's going on? This has happened four times so far.Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description of eye staring and neck stiffness, it should be considered a calcium deficiency, but it's important to be cautious of convulsions or petit mal seizures. It is recommended to go to a hospital with Level 3 Grade A or higher to further examine an electroencephalogram (EEG) and brain CT or MRI to rule out any brain abnormalities. If everything is normal, calcium supplementation treatment is advised. The above suggestions are for the question "A 38-day-old baby sometimes suddenly pouts." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
