What medicine should be taken and how?
Doctor's answer:
Your baby's condition may be related to calcium deficiency. It's best to have a blood test to check for trace elements to confirm. Generally, if the baby doesn't get enough sunlight or has limited exposure, or is artificially fed, they should start taking calcium from the full moon and continue until they are 2 or 3 years old. Before 3 months, the baby can digest cod liver oil, while the mother can digest calcium. It's recommended that the child take calcium and cod liver oil orally, and the mother take calcium and vitamin D orally. After 3 months, the baby can also digest calcium and cod liver oil appropriately. However, don't overdo it. It will never interfere with their growth and development.
