Patient's question:
A friend of mine recently encountered this issue and stayed in the hospital for a period of time. I visited him, and he said he was experiencing some pain and had difficulty sleeping at night, which was greatly affecting his state. What could be the reason for a high sternum in infants?Doctor's answer:
After the baby falls asleep, sweating occurs on the back of the head, even if the temperature is not high. It is accompanied by night crying and screaming. Sweating becomes more noticeable after crying, and some children may have sparse hair at the back of the head. Don't underestimate this painless and itchy condition—it's a calcium deficiency alert in infants. When the body lacks calcium, it can lead to a series of neurological and pediatric orthopedic diseases. The emergence of these conditions severely affects the patient's life. In addition to active treatment, it is crucial to pay attention to daily care. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, consume more calcium-rich foods, and avoid or reduce the chances of occurrence.
