How to supplement calcium for children

Patient's question:

The child had a trace element test and was found to be deficient in calcium, despite having been taking calcium supplements all along. The doctor prescribed a new compound lysine granules, but I noticed that one of the products has the exact same ingredients and is used to treat brain development and memory decline caused by lysine deficiency, as well as to improve neurological symptoms resulting from brain injury. It looks quite alarming. Is it safe for the child to take?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, for calcium supplementation for babies, you can use oral calcium gluconate solution, Diqiu, or Longma Zhuanggu Granules as medication. Combining it with cod liver oil is more effective. Make sure to provide your baby with sufficient and balanced nutrition on a daily basis, and include foods like lean meat, eggs, milk, seafood, and soy products. Regularly take your baby outdoors to get sunlight and encourage them to be active, as this can help with calcium supplementation and promote their development. Wishing your baby a healthy and happy growth!
