Patient's question:
When I was a child, I ate many calcium pills. They were all adult calcium pills, apparently with a chocolate flavor. Then, it was said that children should take one pill a day. But I took about ten to twelve pills a day, for about three days in a row. I was sad that I might not grow tall in the future. What should I do, doctor?Doctor's answer:
Height is 70% determined by genetic genes and 30% by post-natal factors. Excessive calcium supplementation does not promote growth. If your diet is balanced, it is not recommended to take calcium every day. If you only take an excessive amount for three consecutive days, it should not be a problem. Drink more water and enhance metabolism. Stop blindly taking calcium supplements. To grow taller, you need growth hormone before the epiphyseal plates close. If the epiphyseal plates have closed, no method can increase height. Wishing the child a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
