Patient's question:
Two days ago, the child didn't eat dinner well during the day and was still willing to bite their teeth, playing with their teeth. Is it a calcium deficiency? She drinks two bags of pure milk every day, so why is there still a calcium deficiency? What kind of assistance is expected: It is hoped to know what vitamins the child is lacking...Doctor's answer:
This is caused by a calcium deficiency. The calcium content in milk is good, but if the child cannot digest it, it is useless. Proper calcium supplementation is necessary. Your child is also digesting vitamin D while supplementing with calcium.Recommendations:
- Actively digest vitamin D (e.g., by taking fish oil) and supplement with gluconate calcium.
- Pay attention to diet, maintain a balanced nutrition, avoid picky eating, and consume meat, eggs, (dairy products), vegetables, and fruits.
- Additionally, get more sunlight, as this may enhance the production of vitamin D, thereby improving calcium absorption.
