Question
My baby is one month old and seems to have some signs of malnutrition, such as calcium deficiency. What symptoms may appear with infant calcium deficiency?
Answer
Infant calcium deficiency may lead to symptoms such as night crying, irritability, restlessness, and hair loss on the pillow. The eruption of teeth may be slow, and in severe cases, it may lead to rickets. It is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for examination and treatment promptly, and assist in calcium supplementation. In daily life, it is important to develop good habits, maintain regular schedules, avoid smoking and alcohol, and engage in moderate outdoor exercise to enhance the baby’s immunity and prevent calcium deficiency and recurrence of the condition.
