Question
Recently, a 5-month-old baby has been experiencing a decline in nighttime sleep quality, often waking up, and frequently blowing bubbles during the day. Could this be related to teething?
Answer
A 5-month-old baby with poor nighttime sleep quality may need to be considered for rickets. Trace element tests should be conducted, and if there is indeed a calcium deficiency, treatment for rickets should be considered. Alopecia areata at the nape of the neck is a common symptom, and if it occurs, this disease should be considered. Vitamin D and calcium supplements can be given to the baby.
