Question
The baby has a nighttime grinding issue while napping, which didn’t occur before, causing restlessness and crying. However, the baby is normal during the day with a good mood. The local doctor said that it’s not suitable for such a young child to take worm medicine. Previous treatment and effects: none. Seeking help: want to know if it’s due to calcium deficiency or worms in the stomach.
Answer
Based on your description, if the baby’s grinding is confirmed to be caused by intestinal parasites, you can give the child 30 raw pumpkin seeds every night for a week to achieve the effect of worm expulsion. Additionally, this situation could also be due to calcium deficiency. Please supplement calcium for the child for 20 days. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you good health!
