Patient's question:
Hello!! I was born on September 17th, and I am now about 3 and a half months old. Since 20 days after giving birth, when I sleep at night, it feels like a cool breeze is blowing on my legs and feet, and there is also a sense of soreness. This pain lasts for 5 to 10 minutes before I can fall asleep. What is wrong with me? Is there any way to improve this? Thank you very much!!Doctor's answer:
Generally, oral calcium supplements and cod liver oil are effective treatments. Additionally, there are many dietary considerations to keep in mind. Excessive phosphorus in the diet can cause calcium to be excreted from the body, so it's best to avoid foods high in phosphorus, such as carbonated drinks, cola, coffee, hamburgers, pizza, wheat germ, animal liver, and french fries. Here’s a calcium-rich dietary method for you: braised fish with tofu. Fish contains vitamin D, and tofu is rich in calcium. Vitamin D enhances calcium absorption, significantly improving the utilization of calcium from tofu. Additionally, it’s recommended to combine grains and legumes as staples. This not only optimizes amino acid complementarity but also promotes calcium absorption.
