How to supplement calcium for children?

Patient's question:

The child had a trace element test and was found to be deficient in calcium, despite having been taking calcium supplements all along. The doctor prescribed a new compound lysine granules, but I noticed that one of the products with the exact same ingredients is used to treat brain development and memory decline caused by lysine deficiency, as well as to improve neurological symptoms resulting from brain damage. It looks quite alarming. Is it safe for the child to take?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, for supplementing calcium for babies, you can use oral calcium gluconate solution, Diqiao, or Longma Zhuanggu granules as medication. Combining it with fish oil is more effective. Make sure to provide sufficient and balanced nutrition regularly, and include foods like lean meat, eggs, milk, seafood, and soy products. Frequently take your baby outdoors to get sunlight and encourage them to be active, which helps with calcium supplementation and promotes their development. Wishing your baby healthy and happy growth!
