How long is it appropriate for a child to take calcium supplements?

Patient's question:

How long should one take calcium supplements in this situation, stop once, and never suffer from calcium poisoning? Is there any to taking calcium supplements? Is it better to take branded ones? How can calcium be well metabolized?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you give your baby more dairy products such as milk, yogurt, and cheese; soy products like tofu and soy milk; and aquatic products such as shrimp skin, kelp, laver, sea fish, and fish bone powder. While supplementing with calcium, it is also important to consume vitamin D. Regular sun exposure is necessary, as sunlight allows the skin to produce vitamin D, which can enhance calcium absorption. Additionally, before taking calcium supplements, you can have your child drink milk first, and then take the calcium supplement several hours later for better effectiveness.
