Patient's question:
Detected calcium deficiency! What kind of help do you want: Baby is 5 months old, diagnosed with calcium deficiency, the doctor prescribed Double Vitamin AD drops, but forgot to ask how to take them. How many drops at a time? Is it to be dripped directly into the baby's mouth?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, Double Vitamin AD drops are generally taken orally. For adults, the recommended dosage is 1/6 gram (equivalent to 5 drops) once a day. Your baby is only 5 months old, so it is recommended to use 2 drops once a day. You can directly drop them into your baby's mouth or mix them with water for feeding. It is also recommended to get more sunlight, especially during the gentler times of the day, such as in the morning, while being careful not to catch a cold, except for avoiding direct eye contact with the sunlight. Sunlight can help digest vitamin D and also aid in the absorption of calcium.
