Patient's question:
Cod liver oil Can cod liver oil be taken with calcium? The baby is two and a half months old, the toenails are growing upwards, only two big ones are like this, the baby's hair has been growing very slowly after the full moon. Is this due to calcium deficiency? Today I went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and the pharmacy gave me cod liver oil for children under one year old and gluconate calcium, saying it can be taken together. Can they be taken together? Is this condition due to calcium deficiency in the baby?Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
What kind of help do you expect: Can cod liver oil and gluconate calcium be taken together?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child's condition may be a manifestation caused by calcium deficiency. It is best to have the child undergo a trace element test to confirm the extent of the calcium deficiency! Fish liver oil can enhance calcium absorption and works well when taken with calcium supplements. It can better promote calcium absorption! Encourage the child to eat more nutritious foods and get more sun exposure to improve their health from the root!
