Patient's question:
Baby 1, 9 years old, crying around 12 o'clock at night, do I need to take them to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to get better? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Hello, full-term babies should start taking 400 units of vitamin D daily from the 15th day of life to promote calcium absorption. If supplementation is not given on time, it can lead to symptoms of calcium deficiency. Excessive sweating, poor sleep, easy waking, and bald spots on the head are all typical signs of calcium deficiency. If these symptoms appear, it is important to visit the hospital for a trace element test to check for calcium deficiency and its severity. If calcium deficiency is confirmed, calcium supplementation treatment is necessary.
