Patient's question:
Hello: My child is 3 months old. When he was one month old, he was always making random humming noises, and the hospital said it was due to calcium deficiency. He has been taking homemade calcium, cod liver oil, and vitamin drops ever since. Could you please tell me if these need to be taken continuously? How long should they be taken for? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Actually, it's better to supplement with foods rich in calcium and vitamins rather than medication for children, as they are too young and taking too many pills isn't good. Pay attention to their diet and maintain a balanced nutrition. If the condition doesn't improve with diet, then consider medication.
