Question
The newborn’s head is hard when they are born. Could it be due to the mother’s excessive calcium supplementation? How should it be identified, and what are the recommendations?
Answer
For this described condition, it is recommended that parents immediately take the newborn to the hospital for serum calcium concentration testing and a cranial CT scan to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment. At the same time, avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods and increase the intake of fresh vegetables. Additionally, as the newborn may be affected by related diseases, parents should closely monitor the condition and assist their child in receiving treatment as soon as possible. Do not attempt any inappropriate medication treatment on your own.
