Patient's question:
Gender: MaleAge: Four and a half months
Current general condition: My baby is four and a half months old. He sweats a lot from his hands and feet, shakes his head from side to side, and the doctor recommended calcium supplements.
I bought "Haya Brand Calcium-Iron-Zinc Oral Liquid" and "Yikexin Vitamin A and D Drops." But I always feel the dosage on the instructions is a bit high, and since his bowel movements weren't good recently, I haven't taken them yet.
Purpose of consultation: To ask the experts how to give my baby the most scientific dosage.
Doctor's answer:
Hello: According to what you said, as long as it is taken according to the instructions, there is no problem, but not based on personal feelings! The correct method of calcium supplementation is to use vitamin D under the guidance of a doctor first. Generally, 5000 to 10000 units are taken orally daily. Patients with severe rickets or diarrhea can switch to injecting vitamin D while taking calcium tablets orally, 0.5 grams each time, 1 to 3 times a day. This can not only meet the calcium deficiency in children but also ensure their safety.
