Answer

Hello, a 5.5-month-old baby may show symptoms such as irritability, night terrors, bald spots on the head, and square head if deficient in vitamin D and calcium. Epilepsy is characterized by seizures. These symptoms can vary. It is recommended that you identify the cause and, if necessary, undergo examinations and analyses at a hospital. Then, treat the underlying cause effectively to improve the condition.
