Question
The 1-year-and-8-month-old baby often has his legs clenched during his afternoon nap, as if he’s having a spasm, but he doesn’t cry or fuss. It happens every one or two minutes. He’s been suffering from a cold recently, and after it got better, he started to vomit.
Answer
Based on your description and the child’s condition, it is possible that the child is suffering from a calcium deficiency. After the cold, both the spleen and stomach may become weak. It is recommended that you take your child to a nearby clinic or hospital for a check-up. You can give your child some zinc-calcium granules or children’s spleen-nourishing granules. Drink more water and eat less extremely cold and spicy food.
