Question
Is a 6-month-old baby’s frequent hiccups due to calcium deficiency?
Answer
Based on the child’s condition, hiccups are not caused by calcium deficiency but are a result of indigestion. Since introducing complementary foods, the child’s digestive problems seem to have worsened, indicating that the baby may not be adapting well to the new food. It is suggested to use some digestive supplements, such as Lactobacillus, Lactase, or Pepsin solution.
