Patient's question:
My baby is 1 year and 11 months old, and has rib cage flaring. The check-up results at the provincial children's hospital showed: Vitamin D 64.83, calcium 57.1, which is quite deficient. The doctor prescribed one bottle of cholecalciferol and two bottles of calcium citrate-malic acid tablets. After taking the medicine for a month, a follow-up check-up in July showed: Vitamin D 137.7 (slightly above the normal range), calcium 60.3 (slightly below the normal range). The doctor said both were within the normal range and prescribed calcium citrate-malic acid tablets and two boxes of vitamin D drops. Now the vitamin D is almost finished. I don't know how much longer I need to take vitamin D?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for your baby's condition, it is recommended to have a follow-up check. If all indicators are normal, you can stop taking the supplement. The daily required amount can be supplemented through diet.Advice: After stopping the supplement, it is recommended to get more sun exposure to increase calcium absorption. Diversify your diet and eat more calcium-rich foods. Wishing your baby healthy growth.
