Patient's question:
On the 18th, it was checked that the baby was calcium-deficient. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The baby always twitches when breastfeeding. What kind of help is needed: Is it calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention, the symptom of a child being purely "low calcium" cannot prove that they are indeed deficient in calcium. Also, note that implementing a urine test cannot confirm how the child is deficient in calcium.If you want to conduct a thorough check, it is generally recommended to perform a blood test for trace elements or electrolytes. I don’t know the baby’s age, but it is generally advised that VD supplementation can be started after the baby is born, and calcium supplementation can begin two months after birth.
The above is the suggestion for the question "Can a baby’s urine test detect calcium deficiency?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
