Patient's question:
My child is two weeks old and still cannot walk. When standing, he tends to crouch down, as if his legs have no strength. His appetite is quite good; he eats everything, but why doesn't he seem to absorb much?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, the baby may have a calcium deficiency issue. It is recommended that you visit the hospital for a thorough trace element check to diagnose and treat the condition accordingly. If the deficiency is confirmed, you can give him some traditional Chinese medicine preparations like Zanggu Chongji. This medicine is well-absorbed and does not require additional AD supplements. During this period, supplement with a diet rich in calcium, such as dairy products, fish, shrimp skin, kelp, and bone broth, while also consuming foods high in vitamin D, such as pork liver, lamb liver, and beef liver, to enhance calcium absorption.
