Question
When children hold things, such as chopsticks while eating or when they are stationary, they may exhibit hand tremors, along with head shaking. They also have a fear of heights and show poor academic performance. Is this related to the nervous system, and could it be a genetic neurological disorder?
Answer
Based on the description provided, the child’s symptoms are more likely not due to a neurological genetic disorder but rather caused by a deficiency in trace elements. Parents are advised to supplement their child with calcium and Vitamin AD capsules, while also encouraging them to get plenty of sunlight to promote calcium absorption. If symptoms continue or worsen, it is recommended to consult a pediatrician for a detailed examination, including trace element testing, to address the issue promptly.
