Patient's question:
My child is six years old. My family believes that if the child sweats a lot, he should be given Calcium Gluconate Oral Solution. Today, I found that he was given it twice a day, with two bottles each time. I want to ask if there are any side effects?Doctor's answer:
Please take the medicine as instructed. As for whether the oral liquid you mentioned has side effects, it's not very clear. All I can say is that "every medicine has its poison," and everything in excess is harmful, right? Excessive calcium can also cause poisoning. Sweating doesn't necessarily mean you're lacking in calcium; it has a lot to do with the climate. I suggest you get a trace element test done, choose the right time to take the medicine based on the deficiency, pay attention to replenishing fluids during this period, and also avoid overexerting your body.
