Patient's question:
How to take fish oil and calcium, what time is best to take them. Can you drink milk immediately after taking them? How much milk should a 3-year-old drink a day.Doctor's answer:
Hello, rickets is commonly known as calcium deficiency and is more common in infancy. It is a disease caused by vitamin D deficiency, leading to disorders in calcium and phosphorus metabolism in the body, resulting in poor bone calcification.Guidelines:
To understand, the key to treating rickets is to supplement vitamin D. Calcium supplementation is best taken 30 minutes after a meal. Avoid taking calcium after consuming plant-based foods, as this will reduce calcium absorption. Sun exposure and outdoor activities are not the same. Outdoor activities do not necessarily mean sun exposure. Sun exposure refers to direct sunlight on the skin. The recommended daily exposure time is 0.5 to 1 hour. In winter, the parts of the body that can be exposed to sunlight include the face, small hands and feet, buttocks, etc. Parents should adjust the timing and method of exposure based on specific circumstances. Fish oil must be taken daily, with one capsule per day. If one is missed on a particular day, take two capsules the next day to ensure one capsule per day. Fish oil and sun exposure should complement each other. For example, if it has been cloudy for a long time and there has been no sun exposure, one can take nine capsules of fish oil per week. Additionally, for children over two years old, the recommended milk intake is around 500 milliliters. Best wishes.
