Patient's question:
My daughter is almost 5 months old and has been exclusively breastfed. After 4 months, she has been eating a little rice soup, yolk, meat soup, and apple juice every day. Do I need to supplement with calcium?Doctor's answer:
It is winter now, and children cannot go outside every day to get sunlight, so they are definitely lacking vitamin D. It is recommended to supplement vitamin D regularly. You can take Icicle (a brand name for a vitamin D supplement), one pill a day to help the child absorb calcium in their body. You can continue taking it until the weather gets warmer. At the same time, observe her sleep situation. If it is good, there is no need to supplement with calcium.Child health issues have always troubled parents. When treating this condition, consider general treatment. Parents can only use proper methods to help children recover from the illness as soon as possible, so as not to affect their growth and development. Therefore, it is hoped that after a child falls ill, parents will help them recover from the condition as soon as possible.
