Patient's question:
Hello: My sister's child is four weeks old. They often stumble when walking and sometimes lie on the bed, unable to get up by themselves with their arms. I want to ask all the doctors if this is a sign of calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
It could be poor balance in the cerebellum, or it might be a vestibular dysfunction. As the child gets older, it may heal on its own. In traditional Chinese medicine, this may be related to congenital deficiency, often treated by focusing on the liver and kidneys. It is recommended to visit a neurology department or pediatrics department to identify the cause. You can consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for syndrome differentiation and treatment, using the four diagnostic methods—inspection, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation—to determine the syndrome type, thereby regulating the body holistically. Pay attention to a balanced diet and avoid picky eating.
