Question

A five-month-old baby has started experiencing night crying, despite trying baby powder and folk remedies, with little success. What could be the cause of this symptom, and how should it be handled?

Answer

Hello, night crying is relatively common in children and often occurs shortly after falling asleep, possibly related to rickets. Rickets is caused by a deficiency in vitamin D, leading to a disorder in calcium-phosphorus metabolism and subsequently causing low blood calcium levels. This can make the baby excited at night, leading to crying or screaming. Therefore, for the baby’s night crying, it is first necessary to identify the specific cause and then carry out the corresponding treatment. It is recommended to consult a professional doctor for necessary examinations and treatments to ensure the baby’s health.
