Patient's question:
A little pigeon chest, later after the operation for congenital heart disease, the sternum became higher. The doctor said it was due to calcium deficiency. I want to ask which calcium supplement is the best to take... What kind of assistance do you care about: Which calcium supplement is the best to take...Doctor's answer:
Children who lack calcium need to take calcium supplements. Three principles for choosing calcium supplements: 1. Seek advice from a doctor. Currently, there are various types of calcium supplements on the market, such as calcium powder, calcium tablets, or calcium capsules. Parents should avoid selling calcium products themselves, as some contain very low levels of calcium, like calcium gluconate; others have higher amounts of heavy metals, such as products made from seashell; and some are more irritating to the stomach, like calcium carbonate. The appropriate approach is to consult a specialist doctor. 2. The product should have a regular batch number. 3. It should be something the child is willing to understand. When purchasing, in addition to considering the absorption rate and dosage form of the calcium, it is also necessary to consider how much the child dislikes it.
