Patient's question:
My little baby is only four months old this year. We have always prepared things that are not supposed to be given to the little one, but when we went to the hospital for a check-up a few days ago, we found that the baby is severely calcium-deficient. I don't know if this situation will affect the baby's health. Is in a 4-month-old baby a sign of calcium deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a four-month-old baby may have, which is not necessarily caused by calcium deficiency. It requires specific analysis. There are two possibilities: one is excessive sweating in the back of the head, leading to over-friction. The other is that the baby may be lacking vitamin D, resulting in bone demineralization and early signs of rickets. If the child has no other abnormal symptoms, you can supplement with calcium for the child and buy effervescent tablets to dissolve in water for drinking.
