Patient's question:
My child is 7 years old. Due to calcium deficiency, both big toenails have been pulled out, and they keep getting sick. About the past treatment and its effects: never been treated. What kind of help do you want: want to know how to supplement calcium quickly?Doctor's answer:
Children should primarily rely on dietary calcium. When consuming calcium-rich products, be particularly cautious, as children's digestive systems are weaker. Avoid highly alkaline calcium products such as calcium carbonate and active calcium. You can give your child gluconate calcium and cod liver oil. Pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid picky eating, and encourage the consumption of vegetables and fruits high in vitamins and calcium, such as meat, eggs, dairy products, and dried fruits. Take your child outdoors to get more sun exposure.
