Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What should be done if a 6-month-old baby is deficient in vitamin D?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if the baby does not get enough sunlight or has limited exposure, or if the baby is artificially fed, it is recommended to start supplementing calcium from the first month of life and continue until the age of 2 or 3. Before 3 months, it is usually recommended to supplement the child with fish oil and the mother with calcium. It is advised to give the child oral Icicle and the mother oral Calcium Forte D. After 3 months, the child can also be appropriately supplemented with calcium and fish oil. However, do not overdo it.
