Patient's question:
Condition Description: My child is one year old and is at the stage of learning to walk. However, his legs are visibly bowed and lack strength. The doctor said it's due to calcium deficiency, so I bought him Sanjing Calcium Gluconate Oral Liquid, but he doesn't want to drink it. What should I do?History of Treatment and Effect: No treatment has been administered.
Help Needed: How should I supplement calcium for my child?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is indeed likely that the child's condition is caused by a calcium deficiency. You can give the child some fish oil drops to promote calcium absorption. When the sun is not too harsh, expose the child to sunlight appropriately. If the child is unwilling to take the calcium supplement, you can mix it into a bottle for the child to drink. Also, provide the child with more vitamin and mineral-rich foods in daily life, and the child will gradually improve. In daily life, eat more calcium-rich foods such as dairy products, fish, shrimp skin, kelp, and bone broth. At the same time, consume more vitamin D-rich foods such as pork liver, lamb liver, and beef liver to promote calcium absorption.
