Patient's question:
Since the day before yesterday, the baby suddenly slept for 4 or 5 hours at a time, and the amount of food intake has significantly decreased. Previously, the baby would usually sleep for 3 hours and then eat 90 ml of milk formula. This baby, who doesn't eat well, also seems to have been startled, as the lower lip often trembles, and the body also trembles when being held. Does this require medication?Doctor's answer:
Considering the child's condition may not necessarily be a calcium deficiency. It is recommended to promptly take the child to the hospital for a check-up. Eating milk while trembling is not good. If it is spasms, consider whether it is a neurological issue or a brain problem. It is not advisable to go to the hospital for a check-up. Do not take calcium yourself. Consider it unacceptable. You should better test the baby's temperature and then gently tap the baby's abdomen to see if there is any swelling. Therefore, if there is, you should give your baby medication to strengthen the stomach and promote digestion.
