Why Do Children Cry at Night?

Question

Why do children cry at night, even though they have been supplementing with calcium?

Answer

Hello, your child may be experiencing night terrors. This condition is usually caused by fright or calcium deficiency. To confirm the diagnosis, it is recommended to undergo a trace element test. If the cause is fright, you can take traditional Chinese medicine such as ‘Xiao Er Qi Zhen Wan’ or ‘Hupo Wan’ for symptomatic treatment. If it is due to calcium deficiency, you can take calcium supplements like ‘Diquang Calcium’ or ‘Longmu Zhuanggu Granules’. Moreover, it is suggested to consume high-calcium foods such as milk, beans, shrimp shells, and kelp. Wishing your little one a healthy growth.
