Unexplained crying. The possibility of calcium deficiency is relatively high. For children under two and a half years old, it is generally appropriate to supplement with calcium. However, the effect of taking calcium alone is not very good. It should be taken along with vitamin D3, such as cod liver oil or Ecosin. Moreover, it is important to get more sun exposure. Daily outdoor activity time should be ensured to be at least 2 hours. As for zinc deficiency, for a one-and-a-half-year-old child, it is better to delay medication for zinc supplementation. Zinc can be better absorbed from the diet. Additionally, long-term consumption of gluconate zinc can have a significant impact on the gastrointestinal tract. Seafood such as fish, shrimp, and kelp contains a lot of zinc and can be appropriately consumed in larger amounts.
