Patient's question:
Your son is 8 months old and had a trace element test. His calcium level is 1.62, and zinc level is 82.8. Which calcium and zinc supplements should I take for him? Additionally, he wakes up every one or two hours in the second half of the night after 12 a.m. and doesn't sleep well.Doctor's answer:
Hello, children who lack calcium often cry at night. It is best to obtain various nutrients such as calcium and zinc from natural foods, as this is the natural way to supplement nutrients. Foods rich in calcium include milk, cheese, eggs, soy products, kelp, laver, shrimp skin, sesame, hawthorn, seafood, and vegetables. Foods rich in zinc include seafood, meat, animal liver, and poultry eggs. These calcium and zinc-rich foods can be prepared for babies in reasonable ways, such as vegetable puree, meat puree, fish puree, tofu, bread, porridge, and egg yolk, etc. A little salt and vegetable oil can be added during preparation. You can also make dishes like pig liver porridge and tofu shrimp soup for your baby. Sunbathing is an important way for infants and young children to get calcium. Because
