Question
Recently, my child has refused to eat, becomes easily irritable during the day, and cries during naptime. What was the previous treatment situation and its effectiveness? I want to know why this is happening and what should be done.
Answer
If a child is restless during naptime and cries, it may be due to night terrors caused by calcium deficiency, or it could be due to abdominal pain or digestive disorders, or perhaps because they have been frightened. If there is a calcium deficiency, one can take glucose glucose acid calcium oral solution and accompany it with fish liver oil to promote calcium absorption. If they have a cold, it may be due to temperature changes that cause discomfort. If they have been excessively frightened, one can take Xiaoshan Qiju Dan (a children’s medicine).
