Patient's question:
The child often struggles to fall asleep at night, repeatedly getting up and lying down, tossing and turning in bed. In the later half of the night, they start crying and require their mother to continuously pat and soothe them to calm down. Is this a medical condition? What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Check the serum calcium level to rule out calcium deficiency. Check if there is a calcium deficiency. Is it possible that the sleep schedule is not well? For example, if a child sleeps too much during the day, when the biological clock wakes up in the middle of the night, they may seem like they want to wake up, and if no one attends to them, they will cry. Try adjusting the sleep schedule, which may help. My child used to be like this. It is recommended to go to a good hospital for a check-up.
