Patient's question:
My daughter is 7 years old. She is a bit calcium-deficient and also has some spleen deficiency. How should I supplement her calcium and spleen deficiency?Doctor's answer:
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, spleen deficiency can be treated by strengthening the spleen, which can be addressed through herbal medicine regulation. For calcium deficiency, it generally suffices to supplement with calcium-rich foods or supplements. These can be used together. Pay close attention to rest and maintain a light, nutritious diet. Avoid staying up late, overexerting yourself, and consuming spicy, greasy, and rich foods. It is recommended to work in conjunction with a doctor for dietary and health management, which will contribute to better health. Patients should cultivate good daily habits, maintain regular sleep schedules, avoid smoking and alcohol, and engage in more physical activity to enhance their immunity and prevent the recurrence of the condition.
