Question
Children often cry at midnight, and their sleep quality has been good recently, but their crying tonight has intensified. In addition, the child has developed red sores on their legs. What could be the cause?
Answer
The causes of children’s night crying are varied. First, environmental factors should be examined, such as whether the room temperature is too high, if they have been sleeping too long during the day, or if they have eaten sufficiently. If these factors are ruled out and the child still continues to cry, it may be due to illness. If the child does not have symptoms like excessive sweating or night terrors, but does have more sweating, it may be related to a lack of calcium. It is recommended to give the child appropriate calcium supplementation as necessary to maintain healthy growth.
