Patient's question:
Hello, my child is 1 year and 5 months old. Do they need to take calcium supplements every day? I heard that taking too much calcium can affect their height growth. I don't know what to do. Which type of calcium is the easiest to absorb and most effective on the market right now? Is the amount of calcium in their daily diet sufficient?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the situation you described, a one-and-a-half-year-old child generally still has the habit of drinking or breastfeeding. As long as the daily intake of milk is guaranteed to be 500 milliliters, it is usually not lacking in calcium, and there is no need to take calcium supplements every day. Excessive intake of calcium will affect the absorption of other trace elements. Child health issues have always troubled parents. When treating this disease, it is advisable to consider general treatment. Parents can only help children recover from the disease as soon as possible by using the correct methods, so as not to affect their growth and development. Therefore, it is hoped that after a child's illness occurs, parents can help the child cure the condition as soon as possible.
