Question
An infant of five months old is suffering from indigestion. Can they still consume liquid calcium supplements? Will it alleviate the indigestion? Can a five-month-old infant take pediatric complex chicken gizzard powder, and what is the dosage?
Answer
Infants have not yet fully developed their liver and growth, and their digestive enzymes are relatively insufficient, which often leads to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, or constipation. Generally, as long as it does not interfere with the child’s growth and development, treatment may not be necessary, and symptoms can gradually ease as the age decreases. Deficiency in calcium can also cause indigestion. When administering liquid calcium supplements, carefully observe the baby’s absorption situation and determine the appropriate dosage. Pediatric complex chicken gizzard powder can also be taken orally.
