Patient's question:
Doctor! The baby is now 8 months and 24 days old. Before, the baby was a bit calcium-deficient, and we took the Calcium and Zinc Gluconate Oral Solution for three months. It didn't seem to make a difference, so we want to supplement calcium, iron, and zinc together. What can we use? Something that works well.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, if the baby is lacking calcium, then it is necessary to digest calcium alone. There is no need to digest calcium, iron, and zinc for the baby. The baby should digest either gluconate calcium or calcium carbonate. In this case, it is best to supplement only what is needed and avoid unnecessary supplements. It is recommended to digest 400 units of vitamin D daily for the baby, expose the baby to sunlight more often, arrange the diet reasonably, and eat more calcium-rich foods. Pay close attention to getting more sun exposure and taking oral vitamin D to enhance calcium absorption.
