Patient's question:
6-year-old child, what kind of calcium supplement should he take for calf pain and muscle cramps? Height is average to above average for his age, weight is 46 pounds. Takes calcium supplements for 1-2 months every spring. This year, he took AD. What systematic check-up is needed? Can multiple types be taken together?Doctor's answer:
Generally, if a child exhibits the situation you described again, it should be considered whether it is caused by calcium deficiency. If it is not caused by calcium deficiency, supplementing with calcium may not necessarily solve the problem.Suggestion: It is best for you to go to the hospital for a thorough examination by a doctor to help identify the cause of your child's leg pain. Then, appropriate treatment measures can be determined based on the examination results. Alternatively, addressing the pain issue through calcium supplementation may be considered. Otherwise, even calcium supplementation may not be effective.
