What to Do If Your Child Has Diarrhea After Taking Calcium Supplements?

Diarrhea can occur in children after taking calcium supplements, but it usually resolves on its own by stopping the supplements. If diarrhea persists, consider giving probiotics to balance gut flora and may add anti-diarrheal medication for symptom relief. For future calcium supplementation, consider intravenous administration to avoid recurrence. Also, introduce easily digestible, nutrient-rich fluids, starting with small amounts and monitoring your child’s condition closely. If symptoms are severe, consult a doctor for a check-up to better understand the cause and appropriate treatment measures.
