Question
Can a six-month-old baby take the Sanjing Brand Blue Bottle Sugar-Free Gluconate Calcium Oral Solution?
Answer
During the infant stage, children have a smaller age and are in the period of growth and development. They may be deficient in calcium due to various factors, such as weak spleen and stomach leading to poor appetite, poor diet, and insufficient nutrition, which can further cause symptoms of calcium deficiency. At this time, it is important to provide reasonable nutrition, increase the intake of foods rich in calcium, conduct trace element tests, and give symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as gluconate calcium supplements as needed. Generally, children over five years old can take two doses daily, each dose containing one bottle.
