Question
Baby sleeps restlessly, constantly coughing, what’s going on?
Answer
For a baby around one month old, symptoms of restless sleep, frequent waking, and easy startling are indicative of a vitamin D deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with vitamin D. Fish liver oil can be taken. We should closely monitor the changes in the condition. Pay attention to the child’s cough and body temperature. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, it is best to complete it under the guidance of a doctor. If a newborn pneumonia patient is found to have a positive mycoplasma test, it is necessary for the doctor to diagnose and treat at this time. The patient cannot be discharged temporarily. For a baby breastfed for 18 days, if breastfeeding needs to be considered, there may be breastfeeding jaundice. It is recommended to drink more water. Eating honeysuckle can help relieve jaundice.
