Question
Can infants take vitamin D supplements long-term? The text mentions that excessive intake can lead to poisoning, so should one alternate between different types or stick to just one? Can it be taken long-term?
Answer
When considering long-term vitamin D supplementation, it should be based on the child’s health and growth needs. Overconsumption may affect their health. It is advisable to undergo a check-up at a regular hospital and use the supplements under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, staying hydrated, consuming high-protein and vitamin-rich foods, eating plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, and engaging in outdoor activities with the child can all contribute to maintaining good health.
