Patient's question:
The baby has been around 20 days old, and recently has been sleeping restlessly, constantly making humming sounds, turning red in the face, and stretching their arms and legs as if very tired. They also spit up milk. What could be the reason? 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, and fish oil can be taken. We should closely monitor changes in the condition, paying attention to the child's cough and body temperature. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, it is best to complete the process with the cooperation of a doctor. If a newborn with pneumonia is found to be positive for Mycoplasma, it must be diagnosed and treated by a doctor, and 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 boiled water and take Yin Zhi Huang to alleviate the jaundice.
