Question

How long should babies take vitamin D supplements? How can you tell if a baby is deficient in calcium? Are there any suggestions to improve tic symptoms?

Answer

Babies typically need vitamin D supplements until at least 1 year old, and sometimes even longer. To determine if a baby is deficient in calcium, you can monitor their growth and development and conduct blood tests if necessary. For improving tic symptoms, consider medication treatment under a doctor’s guidance, combined with appropriate psychological counseling and behavioral therapy. Additionally, regularly taking children outdoors for physical activity and sun exposure can also help the body absorb calcium more effectively.
