Question
My baby just gave birth, and I would like to ask what are the main symptoms of neonatal hypocalcemia? What are the symptoms?
Answer
The main symptoms of neonatal hypocalcemia are frequent irritability and seizures in infants. They exhibit low muscle tone, reduced milk intake, hand and foot spasms, and generalized convulsions. Occasionally, there may be laryngospasm, apnea, and cyanosis, which can lead to sudden death. Infants may also occasionally experience gastrointestinal symptoms such as severe vomiting and hematochezia.
