Patient's question:
My child is nine months old and is lacking in calcium and zinc. Since two months, we have been supplementing, but the effect has always been poor. Is there any other method? Night crying has been going on for over an hour, and it happens two or three times a night. They cry desperately.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you are lacking calcium and zinc, you can take oral liquid supplements for calcium and zinc. Pay attention to your diet and eat more foods high in calcium and zinc, such as sesame, laver, dried shrimp, egg yolks, carrots, bone broth, beans, dairy products, eggshells, shrimp, etc. Get more sun exposure. If you experience calcium or zinc deficiency, you can take supplements accordingly. For calcium deficiency, it is recommended to get more sun exposure and take calcium pills and vitamin D. For zinc deficiency, zinc pills can be taken for treatment.
