Patient's question:
My son is already 1 year and 1 month old. Recently, sometimes in the second half of the night, he will suddenly start crying with his eyes closed, and it's especially difficult to comfort him. It's not because he's hungry. I don't know if this is normal?Doctor's answer:
Children who lack calcium often cry at night. In the past, due to a lack of medical knowledge, people believed that if they pasted a note saying "Imperial Emperor, Earth Emperor, my home has a night-crying boy" outside, the child would improve. This method is obviously ineffective. Children who lack calcium, in addition to night crying, may also exhibit corresponding symptoms, such as excessive sweating, bald spots on the head, square skulls, delayed fontanel closure, and, etc. Supplementing the child with vitamin D and calcium, and allowing them to get more sunlight, will help the child recover.
