Patient's question:
The child is three weeks old, and all physical examinations are fine. However, it seems that his breathing sounds are relatively heavy while sleeping. There are no foreign objects in his nostrils. What could be the issue?Doctor's answer:
From this situation, it is more likely that the possibility of calcium deficiency should be considered. It is recommended to actively undergo tests to determine the specific condition. When necessary, you can first supplement with vitamin D or calcium. For oral cod liver oil, the preventive dose is about 3 to 5 drops daily (500 to 1,000 units), and the therapeutic dose is 1,000 to 5,000 units daily. If it is concentrated cod liver oil, just take 1 to 2 drops. The next step is to supplement with calcium. Infant calcium tablets, such as Weixin Calcium, are a cost-effective choice. If your financial situation allows, you can also take products like Eel Calcium, Guizhonggai Oral Liquid, or Jue Neng Calcium.
