Do you need to take calcium supplements continuously?

Patient's question:

Hello: My child is 3 months old. When he was one month old, he was always making random humming sounds, and the hospital said it was due to calcium deficiency. He has been taking homemade calcium, fish oil, and vitamin drops ever since. Could you please tell me if these need to be taken continuously and for how long? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Actually, it's better to supplement with foods rich in calcium and vitamins rather than taking medication, as children are too young and it's not good for them to take too many pills. Pay attention to their diet and maintain a balanced nutrition. If the condition doesn't improve with diet, then consider medication.
