Question
A parent reported that their child experienced nosebleeds after taking calcium supplements consecutively, and this situation has recurred. The parent has taken the child for a check-up but still feels worried and hopes to receive professional medical assistance.
Answer
After professional assessment, calcium supplementation itself does not cause the nosebleeds you described. If this symptom is a first occurrence, it is advisable to seek treatment early. While taking calcium supplements, it is recommended to also supplement with vitamin D, encourage the child to drink plenty of warm water, maintain a light diet, and adjust the indoor humidity to a suitable level. If the symptoms persist without improvement, it is suggested to visit a regular hospital’s otolaryngology department for detailed examination and relevant tests.
