Question
A 5-year-old girl frequently experiences hand and foot numbness. After supplementing with calcium, her symptoms have not seen significant improvement. Inquire about possible causes and treatment methods.
Answer
Doctors suggest that children with severe calcium deficiency can use biocalcium preparations such as Longmu Zhuanggu Chongji, and take Vitamin D3 to promote calcium absorption. For mild calcium deficiency, it can be supplemented through diet, such as consuming half a pound of milk to increase calcium intake. Additionally, appropriate outdoor activities and sun exposure help the body produce Vitamin D3 naturally.
