Patient's question:
How should the treatment be carried out for infant calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
A newborn baby will not be deficient in calcium if it is breastfed sufficiently. For children under 4 months, breast milk generally provides 800 ML, and calcium supplementation is usually not necessary. Between 4 to 6 months, if breast milk does not reach 800 ML and symptoms such as poor sleep and crying occur, it is recommended to visit a hospital for some tests. The doctor can then determine whether calcium supplementation is needed.If calcium deficiency is confirmed, it is recommended to take Langdi Calcium Carbonate D3 Granules. Each bag contains 500 mg of calcium and 200 IU of vitamin D3. For children under one year old, half a bag should be mixed and administered. The mild fruit flavor is preferred by babies, and the addition of a small amount of mannitol can prevent constipation. It can effectively prevent and treat symptoms caused by calcium deficiency.
