Patient's question:
My baby is two months old and is currently taking Ekenxin. I want to ask the doctor how long it is recommended for the baby to take it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the duration of taking this medication varies from person to person. Its main ingredient is vitamin D. A lack of vitamin D can lead to calcium deficiency, and calcium deficiency can cause rickets. If the baby is healthy, has a good appetite, and rarely gets sick, the medication time can be shortened, as long as it is not taken in excess and does not cause poisoning symptoms, taking it for a longer time is not an issue. If there is a calcium deficiency, it should be taken for a longer duration. If there is no deficiency and the appetite is good, it is okay not to take it. Note that spending more time in the sun can help the skin produce vitamin D.
