Patient's question:
The child is around 5 years old. Recently, for some unknown reason, they often complain of leg pain. Is it possible to check the baby's bone density to see if they are calcium deficient? How can this be checked?Doctor's answer:
Actually, bone density tests and trace element tests can both detect whether your baby is calcium-deficient. These two types of tests are very good. If you want to know whether your child is calcium-deficient, you can take your child to the hospital for a check-up. If it is found that your child is calcium-deficient, you need to supplement calcium for your child, and it must be done promptly. You can give your child calcium plus zinc, grape calcium, and other supplements. You also need to give your child cod liver oil. Additionally, make sure to expose your child to sunlight more often and ensure they drink plenty of water. This is very important.
