Question
Is it necessary to supplement calcium at the same time when children are taking probiotic supplements, especially for those with deficiencies in calcium, iron, and zinc, and children with poor physical constitutions?
Answer
Considering the possibility of calcium deficiency, it is advisable to conduct a trace element test to make a diagnosis. After diagnosis, a corresponding treatment plan can be formulated. This may include administering fish liver oil drops and calcium gluconate oral liquid to the child, or using other forms of calcium treatment. In some cases, vitamin D3 injections may be necessary, particularly if the child has digestive discomfort or vomiting, as these issues may affect calcium absorption. Additionally, getting plenty of sunlight can also help improve the situation. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your child good health!
