Can severe calcium deficiency be treated with vitamin D injections?

Patient's question:

The child is now 1.5 years old and tends to sweat a lot with a bad temper. They have always had curved calves, a slightly funnel chest, and rib flaring, but doctors who have checked them say these are not too serious. However, they are quite noticeable in daily life. Blood tests have shown a slight calcium deficiency, and bone calcium levels are also a bit low. Despite continuous calcium supplementation, it hasn't improved.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there are many products available for calcium supplementation for babies, such as Longmu Zhuanggu Granules, Diqiao, and Calcium Gluconate Oral Solution, etc. Generally, choosing products from reputable manufacturers is sufficient. When supplementing with calcium, it's important to pair it with Vitamin AD or cod liver oil. Exposing the baby to sunlight regularly also helps promote calcium absorption effectively. Pay attention to a scientific diet and balanced nutrition, and include foods like soy products, milk, eggs, lean meat, and seafood in their diet regularly.
