Patient's question:
The child doesn't eat well and keeps crying. They also don't sleep well. The child has been checked at the hospital, and the doctor said there's nothing wrong. Blood tests were done, and the doctor said the child is lacking calcium. What is going on?Doctor's answer:
Hello! If the child is crying, check to see if they are uncomfortable in any way. Check the diaper, see if they are too cold, and provide a quiet sleeping environment for the child. Offer more water to the child regularly. If you still don't feel comfortable, take the child to the neonatal department for a check-up. Also, get more sun exposure, as this helps with calcium absorption. Medicinal calcium is not as good as calcium from food. You can eat more things like shrimp skins and bone broth.
