Question
Parents are asking how to appropriately supplement calcium for a five and a half-month-old infant with a calcium deficiency, as well as what to do about diarrhea that occurs after taking glucocorticoid calcium, and seek advice on improvement methods.
Answer
The doctor recommends choosing a higher-calcium inorganic calcium preparation such as calcium carbonate or Calcium Plus tablets, and suggests taking a daily dose until the child is two and a half or three years old. Additionally, it is important to supplement with vitamin D to promote calcium absorption. Regarding diarrhea, the doctor believes it may be caused by other factors and recommends further investigating the cause and treating it symptomatically.
