Patient's question:
My child is 9 months old and has a calcium deficiency. We have been taking Zhen D Calcium for over 7 months and are also taking EKAXIN. Could you please advise if it is necessary to take EKAXIN while taking Zhen D Calcium, and how to take them more scientifically? Thank you!!Doctor's answer:
Hello! Taking fish oil can promote calcium absorption. Generally, babies only need to supplement 400 units of vitamin D per day. If the calcium deficiency is severe, the amount of vitamin D to be supplemented should be increased. I don't know how many units of vitamin D are in the calcium supplement you mentioned. It is recommended that you take your baby to the hospital for a check-up to determine the severity of the calcium deficiency and follow the doctor's advice on medication.In daily life, the baby's diet should be diversified, and complementary foods should be rich. The combination of various nutrients should be reasonable, helping the baby develop a good habit of a varied diet, avoiding pickiness and food refusal, and eating more foods rich in calcium.
