Doctor's answer:

Fish oil dosage and usage: Take orally. 2~10 ml per time, 3 times a day. Infants and young children are more sensitive to large amounts or excessive vitamin A, so use with caution. Use according to the recommended dosage, and never overuse.
Calcium tablet usage: Take 2 times a day, 1 tablet each time, with warm water. Overuse of calcium tablets can lead to recurrent hypercalcemia (milk-alkali syndrome), characterized by high blood calcium, alkalosis, and impaired renal function. Use with caution.
