Question
A baby around 7 to 8 months old is suspected of having a calcium deficiency and frequently wakes up at night. How should calcium be supplemented, and are there any recommended calcium supplements? After one month of taking acetic acid calcium capsules prescribed by the hospital, there was no improvement. Can the baby take the self-purchased Longmu Strengthening Bone Capsules? Is the dosage of one packet per meal too much?
Answer
Based on the question and the medication taken, if the baby indeed has a calcium deficiency, taking Longmu Strengthening Bone Capsules and similar medications may be helpful. For a 7-month-old baby, taking three packets of Longmu Strengthening Bone Capsules per day is still appropriate. Additionally, oral calcium gluconate liquid may be more effective. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you and your baby. Wishing you both health!
