Patient's question:
My baby at home, I've noticed he sweats a lot and cries when sleeping recently. Is he lacking calcium? How can I supplement it quickly?Doctor's answer:
Hello, Baoma. Newborns typically start supplementing with vitamin D around 15 days after birth. Based on your description, your baby's issue may be caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with vitamin D, not exceeding 400 units per day, until around 18 months of age. When the weather is nice, expose your baby to appropriate sunlight. The initial consideration is calcium deficiency. It is important to appropriately supplement with calcium, regular cod liver oil, and vitamin AD to replenish calcium. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for trace element tests and treatment, and to pay close attention to your baby's condition.
