Question
The baby is 12 days old and has been found to have a bent thumb. He cries a lot during urination, with particularly intense crying, but plays happily when not fussing. What could be the cause?
Answer
Hello, considering the possibility of calcium deficiency, a blood calcium test can help with diagnosis. You can take calcium tablets like Ge Zhong Gai for better effect, and consume more foods high in calcium such as fish and bone broth. Pay attention to rest and nutrition. Since the child is affected by neonatal diseases, parents must take their child to a doctor for timely medical treatment and avoid using medication blindly to alleviate symptoms. For parents, it’s important to closely observe changes in the child’s symptoms and do everything possible to help the child receive timely treatment for diseases.
