Patient's question:
Dear expert, my son is one and a half years old. He has always had poor sleep since he was a baby, waking up frequently at night. I have had his trace elements checked multiple times, and the results have always been within the normal range. I have never stopped giving him calcium supplements. Now, he wakes up at least four or five times every night, sometimes even more, which makes me extremely tired. I have consulted many experts, and they all say that the clothing, bedding, and environmental temperature should be comfortable. I have done all of that. Some experts also suggested that I give my child five days of Libenning (tranquilizer) to help regulate his sleep. However, I don't know if such medication is beneficial for children. Others told me to give my child Fenargan syrup before bed. I looked at the instructions and saw that it is a cough syrup.Doctor's answer:
??????Precautions for Insomnia: It is important to appropriately alleviate your own stress during the day. You can eat some millet porridge or warm milk (drink it half an hour before bed), take a warm bath in the evening, which helps improve sleep. It is also necessary to maintain a regular sleep schedule and try to go to bed before 10 PM at night to avoid disrupting your biological clock. Develop good sleep habits. Engage in appropriate exercise to strengthen physical fitness. Since this is a neurological disorder, it is recommended to undergo an FNS examination and receive treatment through medical devices.Lifestyle Care: Eating a small amount of food before bed can promote sleep, such as milk or foods rich in carbonated compounds. Strengthening physical exercise is beneficial for children's deep sleep at night. Experts suggest that scheduling exercise at a fixed time before 6 PM in the evening is a good measure for children's sleep health.
