Question
A 1-year-old child sometimes collapses while walking due to sudden weakness in the left leg, but recovers the next day. This situation has happened once before, and last year, it also recovered on the third day. Last year, there was also an incident that recovered on the third day. A detailed examination was conducted at the hospital, but the doctor did not find any problems. What is the cause of this situation? What were the previous treatment methods and their effects?
Answer
Considering the possibility of calcium deficiency, it may be necessary to conduct a test for trace elements for diagnosis. After diagnosis, a treatment plan can be formulated based on the situation. You can take children’s cod liver oil drops and calcium gluconate oral solution, or take Dicalcium for treatment. If necessary, vitamin D3 injection can be administered. If there are problems with indigestion and nausea or vomiting, active treatment is needed to prevent interference with calcium absorption. Exposing to sunlight more often also helps.
