Question
Starting from two days ago, the baby suddenly sleeps for 4 or 5 hours at a time, and there has been a significant decrease in appetite. Previously, the baby would eat 90 milliliters of formula after sleeping for about 3 hours. This baby, who isn’t eating well, seems to be startled as well, with the lower lip often trembling and the body shaking when held. Does this require medication?
Answer
Considering the child’s condition may not necessarily be due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to check the child’s condition at a hospital as soon as possible. It’s not good to eat milk while trembling. If it’s a convulsion, consider it could be a neurological or brain issue. It is not recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. Don’t take calcium on your own. Consider it unacceptable. You should test the baby’s body temperature and then tap on the baby’s belly to see if there is any swelling. Therefore, if there is any, you should give your baby medication to strengthen the stomach and promote digestion.
