Question

A parent inquires that their child was hospitalized for nine days due to neonatal ischemic hypoxic brain disease and subretinal hemorrhage after birth. After discharge, the home temperature was maintained at 26 degrees Celsius, but a day without water supply caused the room temperature to drop. The child is restless during his afternoon nap, waking up after about half an hour to an hour, and crying if not comforted.

Answer

The physician advises that the child’s crying at night may be due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement the child with calcium supplements and increase sun exposure. Give one fish oil capsule daily for two consecutive weeks to replenish calcium, and maintain a quiet environment during deep sleep.
