Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Generally, if children lack vitamin D, it can lead to calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency in children may manifest as night sweats, teeth grinding, leg cramps, and delayed development. It is recommended to give the child oral Icaltrin (containing vitamin D) as medication. Foods high in vitamin D include liver, milk, and egg yolks. Additionally, it is advised to encourage the child to get more sunlight to increase their own synthesis of vitamin D, which promotes the absorption of calcium from food in the intestines.
