Question
Can a cold cause shaking hands? A 3-year-old child had tracheitis with a fever of 39 degrees and was given intravenous fluids for 2 days. At 11 AM today, the right hand started to shake first, followed by the left. The hospital’s brain CT and blood test were normal, but the shaking began again at home. What could be the cause?
Answer
Your condition could be due to calcium deficiency, and it is recommended to supplement calcium. There are two main ways to supplement calcium: through calcium supplements and dietary calcium. The most common and traditional sources of calcium are dairy products, which are not only rich in calcium but also easy to absorb. Dairy products also contain abundant minerals and vitamins, including vitamin D, which promotes the absorption and utilization of calcium. Yogurt is also a very good source of calcium; it not only supplements calcium but also contains beneficial bacteria that can regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for various groups of people. For those who do not like milk or are lactose intolerant, it is recommended to consume more alternative foods such as oysters, seaweed, cabbage, broccoli, turnips, carrots, kale, and bok choy.
