Question

A two-month-old baby sometimes has leg twitches. What could be the cause?

Answer

Hello, based on the provided clinical data, the possibility of calcium deficiency in the baby is considered to be relatively high. The twitching may be an early manifestation of rickets caused by vitamin D deficiency. Additionally, it is also necessary to rule out infantile convulsions. Guidance: It is recommended to supplement with vitamin AD under the guidance of a pediatrician, promote the absorption of calcium supplements, such as calcium gluconate oral solution. Adequate sunlight exposure to promote the synthesis of endogenous vitamin D3 will help improve the symptoms quickly. If you have any questions, please consult further.
