Question
Detailed medical history and purpose of consultation: The child often dreams and cries at night while sleeping. Current condition and duration of illness: Frequently. Current general condition: Medical history: The child frequently dreams and cries at night, then falls asleep again. Not more than an hour and a half later, they will dream and cry again. This only happens when they sleep with their grandmother, but it rarely occurs when sleeping with me, at most once. Could it be due to the grandmother’s loud snoring all night?
Answer
Hello, the child’s condition is likely due to a calcium deficiency. You can give them Icoshin Vitamin AD drops and Gailide Compound Carbonate Calcium Granules, which are effective. Calcium supplementation can prevent rickets and its symptoms such as bald spots, irritability, lack of interest in the surrounding environment, night terrors, frequent sudden waking and crying during the night. Children over one year old may show symptoms such as delayed teething, with some children not having any teeth by the age of 1.5. Delayed closure of the anterior fontanelle is common, often not closing until after 1.5 years. A prominent forehead may form a square head, and there may be bead-like ribs. The prevention and treatment of rickets require not only calcium supplementation but also vitamin D supplementation and adequate sun exposure.
