Question
My baby is 10 months old and is currently taking Diquao pediatric calcium tablets. They have already finished two boxes. I want to know how many tablets they should take before stopping the medication?
Answer
Firstly, I recommend that you take your baby to the hospital for a trace element test to determine if there is a deficiency in calcium. If supplementation is indeed necessary, I suggest adopting a dietary approach, which is both safe and free from the potential side effects of medication supplementation, such as overdosing or affecting growth. In terms of diet, I advise diversifying your baby’s food choices, selecting nutritious, easy-to-digest, and non-irritating foods. Encourage plenty of water intake, and include fresh vegetables and fruits in their diet.
