How to treat calcium deficiency in children?

When children are calcium deficient, they can eat more milk and dairy products, beans and bean products, nuts, freshwater fish, seafood, meat, poultry eggs and other foods to supplement calcium; if the calcium deficiency is more serious, they can also use calcium supplements under the guidance of a doctor, and use vitamin AD preparations to promote calcium absorption.

Children are growing up and have a high demand for calcium. If you don’t pay attention to calcium supplementation for your child in time, your child may suffer from calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency in children is very harmful. At this time, they tend to cry a lot, sleep restlessly, sweat a lot, and even suffer from low immunity and low intelligence. So, what should we do if children are calcium deficient?

1. Proper diet to supplement calcium

1. Milk and dairy products

Cow's milk, goat's milk and breast milk are all rich in calcium and are easily absorbed by the body. Therefore, when children are calcium deficient, you can let them eat more of these foods to increase calcium in their bodies.

2. Beans and bean products

Soybeans, lentils, broad beans, tofu, tofu skin and other beans and their products are rich in calcium, protein, etc. When a child is calcium deficient, you can let him eat more of these foods to achieve the purpose of calcium supplementation.

3. Nuts

Peanuts, pine nuts, almonds, etc. that we usually eat also contain a lot of calcium. When a child is calcium deficient, you might as well let him eat more of these nuts to supplement calcium for the body, strengthen bones, and promote growth and development.

4.River and seafood

River and seafood are also rich in calcium, so when children are calcium deficient, they can also eat some river and seafood, such as crucian carp, silver carp, shrimp, dried shrimp, dried shrimp skin, kelp, seaweed, clams, etc., which can also play a certain role in calcium supplementation.

5. Meat, poultry and eggs

Foods such as lamb, pig brain, eggs, chicken, duck eggs, pork floss, etc. are also rich in calcium, so children can eat more of them to supplement calcium for their bodies.

2. Calcium supplementation with drugs

1. Calcium preparations

If your child is severely deficient in calcium and feels that dietary supplements are ineffective, you can use some high-quality calcium preparations, such as calcium carbonate, active calcium, etc., under the guidance of a doctor to supplement calcium for the body.

2. Vitamin AD preparations

Because vitamin D can promote the body's absorption of calcium, children should also take some vitamin D while supplementing calcium. Vitamin AD preparations are a good choice. In addition, letting children go outdoors more often and get more sun can also produce vitamin D, which can promote the body's absorption of calcium.
