Question

Can babies safely take cod liver oil and Vitamin AD long-term? Sometimes they sweat a lot, eat less milk, and are underweight.

Answer

Hello, when supplementing calcium for children, it’s crucial to follow the principle of ‘supplement what is deficient.’ Avoid long-term oral intake of Vitamin AD as it may cause vitamin D toxicity. Once the child’s symptoms are relieved, you can stop using it. Additionally, due to the influence of neonatal diseases, parents must take their child to the doctor immediately for treatment to avoid various misconceptions and receive timely symptomatic treatment. For parents, it is very important to observe the child’s symptoms changes closely and do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
