Question
What are the reasons for a child’s night crying?
Answer
A child’s night crying is likely due to a lack of calcium. Children with calcium deficiency often exhibit difficulties falling asleep, waking up easily during sleep, irritability, easy startling, excessive crying, and excessive sweating after sleep. In severe cases, symptoms such as scalp peeling, pigeon chest, and square head may appear. It is recommended that you take your child for a test of trace elements. If a calcium deficiency is confirmed, it should be supplemented promptly. You can give your child oral calcium gluconate and cod liver oil drops, and also add complementary foods such as rice porridge, egg yolks, and fruit purees in a timely manner. Additionally, spending more time outdoors to expose the child to sunlight can help absorb calcium.
