When and how to take fish oil

Patient's question:

Does the baby have less hair? Is it due to calcium deficiency? When should fish oil be supplemented, and how much should be given? When should calcium be supplemented, and how should it be done? What kind of assistance is needed: specifically regarding dosage, especially for calcium supplementation, does the baby need it at this time? How should it be supplemented? Is it necessary to supplement every day...

Doctor's answer:

Hair loss is not necessarily due to calcium deficiency; it is often caused by the child sleeping too much. Advice: Generally, after the age of one, it is no longer necessary. Fish liver oil contains vitamins A and D, and vitamin D helps in the metabolism of calcium and promotes bone fibrosis. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to vitamin D deficiency rickets. The duration of intake should be determined based on the child's physical growth and development. Fish liver oil with a vitamin A to D ratio lower than 3:4 is prone to vitamin A toxicity with long-term use. For specific dosage and administration methods, please refer to the product instructions or consult a doctor.
Lifestyle care: Exposing oneself to sunlight can also prevent the recurrence of rickets.
