What should I do if I start urinating more after taking calcium supplements?

Patient's question:

After taking calcium, I started urinating more frequently, and I'm very worried. The child has been experiencing this symptom repeatedly, and we've had tests done. I hope the doctor can help us.

Doctor's answer:

Your child has diarrhea caused by taking calcium. Generally, stopping the use will allow recovery. If the diarrhea persists, probiotics can be taken, which have no adverse effects on the child. For more severe diarrhea, an anti-diarrheal medication can be added. In the future, calcium can be administered intravenously.
Once the child recovers, solid food can be gradually reintroduced, starting with low-fat, easily digestible, and nutrient-rich liquid foods. Begin with small amounts and stop immediately if any abnormalities occur. Wait until the body fully recovers before adding more. If the situation is severe, it is best to seek medical attention.
