Doctor's answer:
A dose of calcium gluconate for an eight-month-old baby is excessive. For adults, it's usually one to two doses, for children, one dose, and for infants, half a dose. It can also be calculated based on body weight in kilograms. Therefore, you can give the baby one-quarter to one-half of a dose at a time, depending on the results of the examination and the severity of calcium deficiency. The above advice is for the question "Can an eight-month-old baby take one dose of calcium gluconate oral liquid per day?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
