Question
A parent inquired about their child’s nighttime sleep issues, noting that the child has poor sleep at night, especially during the latter half of the night, but there are no apparent stress or hearing problems. The parent wants to know if this condition is caused by neurasthenia and what checks and treatments should be conducted.
Answer
Experts recommend conducting trace element tests to determine the cause of the child’s sleep issues and to proceed with appropriate treatment based on the diagnosis. It is suggested to supplement with cod liver oil and Icodextrin to promote calcium absorption, while also monitoring blood calcium levels to avoid potential urinary tract stone problems caused by high blood calcium. During winter, when children may not get enough sunlight exposure, it is recommended to supplement long-term to prevent related issues.
