Patient's question:
Baby is more than 20 days old. Recently, she always sleeps restlessly. She keeps groaning and her face turns red. Her arms and legs also stretch hard, as if she is very tired. She also spits up. What's going on? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
For babies around one month old, symptoms such as sleeplessness, frequent waking, and easy startles are signs of vitamin D deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with vitamin D. Fish oil can be taken. We should closely monitor the changes in the condition. Pay attention to the child's cough and body temperature. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, it is best to complete the treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If a newborn with pneumonia is found to be positive for Mycoplasma, it must be diagnosed and treated by a doctor. Discharge is temporarily not possible.For breastfed babies who are 18 days old, if breastfeeding is required, consider the possibility of jaundice caused by breastfeeding. It is recommended to drink more plain water and take Yin Zhi Huang to alleviate jaundice.
