Question

My baby sleeps for two to three hours in the afternoon, takes a nap at 10 PM, and usually wakes up around 2 AM, after which they don’t sleep soundly, waking up intermittently and sometimes crying out. They usually wake up around 6 AM. My baby is prone to fever; they get a runny nose and sneezing easily when slightly chilled. They’ve had a fever since around the 10th of this month, and it hasn’t gone away yet. Lately, the baby’s head has been alternating between hot and cold, and their body temperature is normal. The baby’s digestion isn’t very good. Previous treatment and effects: This spring, the baby had a fever once, with runny nose, nasal congestion, coughing, and tears. The doctor said it was a mild pneumonia. They were hospitalized for a week and were allergic to penicillin; they were given ceftriaxone. What kind of help are you looking for? How can I make my baby’s afternoon nap shorter but normal? Why does my baby easily get feverish? What can I do to improve my baby’s digestion?

Answer

  1. Your baby’s sleep issues may be related to their digestive system. It is recommended to supplement your baby with vitamin AD, such as Eicosin or Betelin, to promote calcium absorption; also, supplement with calcium supplements such as calcium gluconate oral solution or Gaidixin. It is important to note that calcium supplements should be taken at least one hour apart from milk to avoid affecting calcium absorption.
  2. Your baby has a lower immunity, making them prone to catching colds and fevers. It is suggested to adjust clothing as needed and supplement trace elements regularly; you can take oral medications to strengthen respiratory immunity and prevent colds.
