Patient's question:
A four-month-old baby does not lift their head, has no strength in their legs, eats and sleeps well, everything else is fine. Why doesn't the baby lift their head or have strength in their legs?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, the baby is now 4 months old and still cannot lift its head, nor do the legs and feet have strength. This should first be considered whether the child has muscle rigidity caused by conditions such as hypoxic brain injury. Another possibility is to check if the child is experiencing symptoms due to calcium deficiency. My child has similar symptoms. I suggest you take your child to the pediatric neurology department of the hospital for examination to see if the child has brain damage. If the child does not have any brain issues, it may be caused by calcium deficiency. You can supplement calcium for your child and observe for a period of time. Pay attention to letting the child exercise with the head in a vertical position.
