Question
My child has shown symptoms of flared ribs before the age of two and a half, and has been supplemented with calcium. I would like to know if this condition is common in cases of calcium deficiency?
Answer
Based on the described symptoms, it is suspected that the flared ribs may be due to general weakness in the child’s physique and a lack of calcium. Gluconate calcium oral solution can be used for the prevention and treatment of symptoms of calcium deficiency, such as osteoporosis, tetany, underdeveloped bone growth, rickets, and other groups that require calcium supplementation, such as children, pregnant women, lactating women, perimenopausal women, and the elderly. Cod liver oil, also known as vitamin AD drops, when taken with gluconate calcium, helps improve the absorption of calcium. It is recommended to take three times a day, with one bottle of gluconate calcium oral solution per dose. There are many types of cod liver oil available; please choose the appropriate form according to medical advice.
