How To Cure Pain Noticed On Foot During Sleep?
My daughter is 15 months old and every single night she wakes up screaming in pain from her feet and wont go back to sleep. She constantly scratches the arch of her foot and rubs it to the point of its raw and there are deep scratch marks. Her doctor just looked at her feet (litterally) and said shes fine. what could be wrong?

Hi, by what you quote it seems that your child probably has calcium deficiency. In calcium deficiency, cramps can occur at night. I suggest you to give syrup calcium (5ml=250mg) 5 ml two times a day for 1 month. Also, you should do calcium and phosphate levels in child. Take care.
