Question
A parent asks a doctor if they need to supplement cod liver oil while giving their 1-year-and-7-month-old baby Calcium D3 tablets, as they were not informed of this. The inquirer wants to know if additional cod liver oil supplementation is needed, whether there are side effects from long-term use of Calcium D3 tablets, and whether taking one tablet per day is sufficient.
Answer
The doctor explains that since Calcium D3 tablets already contain Vitamin D3, there is generally no need for additional cod liver oil supplementation. The doctor advises against long-term use, suggesting that it is typically sufficient to take the tablets for 1 to 2 months, with the dosage of one tablet per day being appropriate. Finally, the doctor wishes the baby health and well-being.
