Patient's question:
2-year-old baby has 16 teeth, hasn't had any new teeth for several months, and hasn't grown much in height in the same period. Vein blood was tested for trace elements once, and it was said to be calcium deficiency. However, despite continuous supplementation, the situation hasn't improved, indicating poor absorption. How should a 2.5-year-old baby be supplemented with calcium?Doctor's answer:
Based on whether your symptoms are caused by consultation or calcium deficiency, it is recommended to treat them accordingly in this case. There is no need to worry. Generally, you can take pediatric fish oil drops and calcium gluconate oral solution for treatment. In severe cases, you may need vitamin D3 injection with anesthesia. You can also take Zhuanggu granules or AD calcium for digestive treatment. During this period, combine dietary supplements by eating calcium-rich foods such as dairy products, fish, shrimp skin, kelp, and pork rib soup, while also consuming vitamin D-rich foods like pork liver, lamb liver, and beef liver to enhance calcium absorption.
