Answer

Hello, sudden crying during sleep in children may be due to calcium deficiency causing night terrors. If the mother was deficient in calcium during pregnancy, the child is more prone to rickets after birth. A trace element test can be conducted, and calcium supplements and vitamin D should be taken as prescribed by a doctor. Adequate sun exposure helps with calcium absorption. Other possible causes include overeating, under-eating, tight clothing, thick blankets, and overly dry air. It is recommended to carefully investigate and adjust these factors.
