Question
A child frequently exhibits conscious or unconscious head-shaking behavior without any other abnormal symptoms. How should this be handled?
Answer
Head shaking in children may be due to calcium deficiency or a lack of other trace elements. It is recommended to provide adequate calcium supplementation and observe for any improvement. If the situation persists, it is advisable to have the child undergo a trace element test to determine if there is a deficiency. Additionally, maintain a comfortable room temperature and appropriate clothing to avoid discomfort in the head due to sweating or fever. Wishing the child a healthy growth!
