Patient's question:
My child is five months old and was tested in the hospital for calcium deficiency. The doctor prescribed pediatric AD, but my child doesn't like it. I bought five for my child to take. Is it okay? The child doesn't like pediatric AD. See if the child can eat what I said.Doctor's answer:
Children can take AD, which is Calcium Carbonate D3 Granules for Infants, for calcium supplementation. This contains a higher calcium dosage and, combined with vitamin D3, helps children absorb calcium more effectively, making it a good choice. If the child is reluctant to take it, you can opt for calcium acetate or calcium lactate. For the five-vitamin calcium you purchased, make sure it has the OTC (Over-the-Counter) label, as OTC indicates it is approved by the national regulatory authority. Avoid purchasing health supplements. Additionally, it's important to ensure the child consumes at least 800ml of milk daily. Based on these methods, see how you can help stabilize the child's calcium deficiency symptoms.The above advice is for the question, "My five-month-old child was diagnosed with calcium deficiency at the hospital and the doctor prescribed..." I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
