Question
How should children be supplemented with calcium? Is it necessary to seek treatment at a hospital? How long does it take to see improvement in the treatment process?
Answer
The best way to supplement calcium in children is through a balanced diet. Parents can choose foods rich in calcium, such as milk, cheese, soy products, green leafy vegetables, and fish, to provide their children with the necessary nutrients. For busy parents, there are also various convenient supplement foods available on the market. In addition, when the weather is sunny and mild, allowing children to get enough sunlight can help promote calcium absorption. When exposed to sunlight, try to expose as much of the child’s skin as possible to increase the synthesis of vitamin D, thereby improving the utilization of calcium. Under normal circumstances, it is usually not necessary to seek treatment at a hospital specifically for calcium supplementation. However, if there are any concerns, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor.
