Question
How should young children supplement calcium? Do they need to be treated in a hospital? How long will it take for them to improve?
Answer
To make calcium supplements more appealing to young children, some products are fortified with additional ingredients beyond calcium to enhance taste. However, it is not advisable to make the supplements too sweet, as this might lead children to prefer this flavor, affecting their normal drinking and milk consumption habits, and even their appetite. Since breast milk or formula milk is the main food for infants, at this stage, mothers can choose calcium supplements with a mild milk flavor to supplement calcium for their children. The duration of treatment varies depending on the specific situation, and it is recommended to consult with a doctor or a professional for advice.
