Question

Why does a 10-month-old baby suddenly shake their head? They were playing fine a few days ago, but now they suddenly start shaking their heads, which somewhat resembles the tremors before urination. There is a slight outward curvature of the first rib on the lower left side. Is the situation serious?

Answer

Consider whether this could be due to calcium deficiency leading to soft bones and restless head-shaking. If there are no other discomforts, it’s suggested to supplement with calcium supplements, such as oral calcium gluconate solution and cod liver oil, and also expose the baby to more sunlight to aid in calcium absorption. Adding appropriate complementary foods at 10 months old is beneficial for the child’s growth and development. We know that pediatric neurological rehabilitation can cause significant harm to children. If not treated promptly or with incorrect methods, its progression can be rapid, posing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their child’s condition and seek treatment in a timely manner.
