Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Is it okay for a four-month-old baby to take Tricalcium Gluconate?Doctor's answer:
If a four-month-old baby shows symptoms of calcium deficiency, it is first recommended to give the baby more supplementary foods rich in calcium, diversify the mother's diet, and let the baby get more sunlight to increase calcium absorption. Calcium gluconate and Longmu Zhuanggu Granules are both calcium supplements. For a four-month-old baby, it is recommended to choose acidic calcium, such as calcium gluconate or calcium lactate, as they are better absorbed. However, it is essential to take calcium absorption enhancers like AD drops at the same time to increase calcium absorption. Calcium gluconate can be taken once a day.
