Question
A three-year-old child has been experiencing leg pain recently. A trace element test revealed a calcium deficiency. Can injecting be used to quickly supplement calcium?
Answer
Intramuscular injection of vitamin D3 can be considered to help with calcium absorption. At the same time, it is important to ensure the child consumes more foods rich in vitamins and calcium, such as fruits, vegetables, dairy products, soy products, eggs, and lean meats. It is advisable to avoid consuming foods high in lead, such as tin cans and puffed snacks.
