Question
An 11-month-old baby was previously checked in a community and said the child has poor calcium absorption, and was advised to take two D3 vitamins. The baby has been taking them continuously for several months, but I’m worried about the possibility of toxicity. The baby has been experiencing dry heaves and vomits once a day. Stool is usually 1 to 3 days apart, and sometimes the stool head is a bit dry. Lately, the baby has been passing gas frequently. If the baby becomes poisoned, can I just stop the medication? Will it affect the baby’s growth and development?
Answer
