What is the difference between vitamin D drops and cod liver oil?

Patient's question:

Expert baby is 4 and a half months old. The doctor said it's a calcium deficiency, so they prescribed 2 bottles of vitamin AD drops. But our child has been taking brain-nourishing fish liver oil since the age of 3 months! Are these two medications the same in effect? Can they be taken together?

Doctor's answer:

From your description, your child's condition appears to be due to rapid physical growth or a lack of trace elements like calcium, which has manifested as discomfort. Such cases require treatment with digestive calcium supplements.
Children who grow rapidly may experience interference with physical development and excessive sweating if they do not properly digest trace elements. Your child can be treated with Longmu Zhuanggu Granules, Children's Cod Liver Oil, and other similar products, which can be very effective in aiding calcium absorption.
The two medications you mentioned are actually the same—both are cod liver oil. They can be used for digestion, but it's important not to use them simultaneously to prevent overloading the body and causing poisoning.
