Question

My full-month-old baby often needs to be held, and recently has been crying non-stop and not interested in eating. How can I solve this problem?

Answer

Non-stop crying in infants could be a symptom of calcium deficiency. Parents are advised to observe if there are any signs of pain, excessive sweating, or convulsions, and to take their child for a blood calcium test to aid in diagnosis. Consider giving calcium supplements such as ‘Gai Zhong Gai’, and pay attention to consuming foods rich in calcium, such as fish and bone broth. At the same time, the baby needs adequate rest and nutrition. Family members should use proper medical methods to help the child recover, in order to avoid affecting their growth and development.
