Question
How long can children continuously take calcium tablets? How long should the interval be before they can take them again?
Answer
Generally, after children have continuously taken calcium tablets, it is recommended to wait 4 to 6 hours before taking them again. Overdosing on calcium tablets may lead to incomplete absorption, while excessive vitamin D intake could cause toxicity. Excessive sweating at night in children may be a physiological response to body temperature regulation or a stage of growth and development, rather than due to yin deficiency and heat disturbance. If you are concerned about your child’s insufficient calcium intake, it is advisable to consult a professional physician or nutritionist to obtain appropriate supplementation advice.
