Questions
A parent inquired about their baby, who, after taking Vitamin AD drops, still experiences symptoms such as thinning hair, eczema, and waking up suddenly. They are worried if the baby is deficient in calcium and asked how to supplement calcium appropriately.
Answers
Doctors suggest that the baby may need to supplement calcium. Since the baby is already taking Vitamin AD drops, it is important to first check if there is indeed a calcium deficiency. If confirmed, appropriate calcium supplements can be considered. Cod liver oil is a complementary food that provides the baby with Vitamin A and D, but attention must be paid to the dosage; excessive intake may lead to poisoning. It is recommended to use cod liver oil and calcium supplements as prescribed by a doctor.
