Patient's question:
The baby cries at night, and this situation has persisted for a long time. I am very worried and afraid that it might worsen. Please give me some advice from the doctor.Doctor's answer:
There are two possible reasons why a child cries at night: one is a potential calcium deficiency, and the other is being startled. It is recommended to have a trace element examination at the hospital to confirm the diagnosis and then receive appropriate treatment. Increase your intake of calcium-rich foods, such as dairy products, fish, shrimp skins, seaweed, and bone broth, while also consuming vitamin D-rich foods like pork liver, lamb liver, and beef liver to promote calcium absorption. If it is not a calcium deficiency but rather being startled, it is advisable to consult a doctor for recommendations. Some supplementary medications may be helpful.
