How much calcium should a 15-month-old child take daily?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, both adults and babies should supplement calcium, so it's good to know how the child supplements calcium.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the outward deviation of the baby's ribs is caused by calcium deficiency. I hope you can give the baby fish liver oil and calcium gluconate oral solution. You can take one each in the morning and afternoon. The key is to add some high-calcium foods for the baby. Calcium supplements should not be taken for a long time; take half a month and then stop for half a month. Currently, intramuscular injection of 300,000 units of vitamin D3 is not recommended, as the dosage is too high. It can be supplemented through food, such as drinking more milk, yogurt, legumes, fish, and shrimp, especially shrimp. Also, get more sun exposure.
