What Causes Restlessness In Child With DiGeorge Syndrome?
I have a 5 month old child that has been diagnosed with DiGeorge syndrome and has been very restless and not eating as well as he should. He is on medication for low calcium issues. I d like to know about the restlessness though could medication cause that or is that another symptom of the syndrome or is it a breathing problem???

Hello
As the baby of DiGeorge syndrome are deficient in immunity. The respiratory infection is a common problem.If he is restless and has poor oral acceptance with some breathing problem,consult your pediatrician to rule out any respiratory infection.These baby have increased chance of congenital heart defect. An echocardiography should also be done to rule out any heart disease if there are clinical signs.
