How do babies supplement zinc and calcium?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: Got leukoplakia on July 1st, no discomfort, everything is fine. Past Treatment and Effect: External medication works well, but it recurs when not used. Desired Help: What should I do? Also want to consult about the baby who is 11 months old and has only grown two teeth, what could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

This is a sign of calcium deficiency. As the saying goes, "all medicines have side effects," so dietary supplements are relatively safer and more reliable. Calcium supplements not only provide calcium but also "supplement" other chemicals. Therefore, parents should preferably choose dietary supplements to help their children get calcium. By obtaining calcium through various foods, not only is calcium provided to the child, but other nutrients are also supplemented. In daily life, parents should give their children more foods rich in calcium, such as dried shrimp, milk, eggs, etc. When parents give their children calcium supplements, they must not forget to supplement vitamin D, as vitamin D can effectively promote the body's absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Fish liver oil or foods rich in vitamin D can be given to the child.
