Question
What is the best calcium supplement to choose?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, the child may have a calcium deficiency. It is recommended to undergo a detailed trace element examination for a diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. If diagnosed with a calcium deficiency, it is suggested to use traditional Chinese medicine-based bone-strengthening powders, as they are easy to absorb and do not require additional vitamin D. Additionally, complementary food can be included, such as increasing the intake of calcium-rich foods like milk, fish, shrimp shells, kelp, and bone soup. Also, eat more vitamin D-rich foods like pork liver, lamb liver, and beef liver to promote calcium absorption.
