Patient's question:
My son has recently been experiencing a situation where he falls asleep but wakes up again after a long time, and several times he has been startled awake. So, I want to ask what could be causing him to be easily startled during sleep and what can be done about it?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to take the child to the hospital to check for trace elements to see if there is a deficiency in zinc or calcium. If there are abnormalities, it is best to take medication for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Coordinate with oral vitamin D3 drops, get more sun exposure, and avoid letting the child sleep too much during the day. Additionally, the evening diet should be light, and high-calorie foods should be consumed in moderation. I don't know if the child has been playing too wildly during the day recently?
