Patient's question:
My baby likes to eat gluconate calcium lozenges. May I give him two or three pieces every day?What kind of help do I need: Can I give him two or three pieces every day?
Doctor's answer:
Calcium gluconate tablets contain 9% calcium, which is not high, so they can be taken intermittently. Meals should be regular, and nutrition should be comprehensive to prevent meat deficiency. Exposing babies to sunlight helps in the synthesis of vitamin D, as a lack of vitamin D often leads to calcium deficiency. Calcium gluconate tablets can be taken simultaneously with vitamin D and should be taken for 25 days, followed by a break of 5-6 days to prevent excessive calcium supplementation. The above suggestions are for the question "Can calcium gluconate tablets be given to children as snacks?" and hope to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
