Patient's question:
A child around 5 years old has recently been experiencing frequent complaints of leg pain, for no apparent reason. Could you please tell me if it's normal for the bones behind the child's ears to be slightly protruding?Doctor's answer:
From this situation, it is more likely that the possibility of calcium deficiency should be considered. It is recommended to actively check to determine the specific situation. When necessary, you can first supplement with vitamin D or calcium.Hello, the baby may have a calcium deficiency. Generally, if there is poor sun exposure or it is relatively limited, or if the baby is artificially fed, calcium supplementation should start from the full moon month and continue until the age of 2-3 years.
