Question
The baby is experiencing poor sleep quality, and the doctor has diagnosed it as an active phase of rickets, recommending the daily intake of two drops of shark vitamin D drops and calcium gluconate oral solution. However, the instructions indicate that excessive vitamin D may cause toxicity. How should one handle this situation?
Answer
Under the guidance of a doctor, the baby requires active calcium supplementation due to significant symptoms of calcium deficiency. It is currently recommended to continue taking calcium supplements and cod liver oil under medical supervision to avoid overdosing. Once rickets is controlled, the dosage of cod liver oil can be reduced. At the same time, it is suggested to gradually introduce complementary foods rich in protein.
