Question
A six-year-old child often sweats, and the family has been giving him three bottles of Sanjing Gluconate Calcium Oral Solution twice a day. Is this medication method likely to cause side effects?
Answer
Medication should be taken according to the instructions provided. As for whether the oral solution can cause side effects, there is no definitive answer, but it should be remembered that “medicines have three parts of poison.” Overconsumption of any substance can lead to adverse effects, including calcium overload which may cause poisoning. Excessive sweating in children does not necessarily indicate a calcium deficiency and may also be related to the climate. It is recommended to undergo trace element tests, choose an appropriate time for supplementation based on the test results, and pay attention to water intake during supplementation to avoid body heat buildup.
