Question

My child has been crying and not eating much lately. Can I give them Youkadan?

Answer

No, it is not recommended. If the child has a cold, they can take Jinlian oral liquid or other antiviral oral liquids specified by the hospital. The best, most economical, and safest way to supplement calcium is through food, especially by increasing the intake of milk and its products. It’s important to note that simply supplementing calcium is not enough; you also need to promote calcium absorption. It’s best to eat foods rich in vitamin D, such as cod liver oil, on a regular basis; or get some sun exposure to promote the synthesis of vitamin D in the body. This is because vitamin D helps with the absorption of calcium.
