What are the treatment options for calcium deficiency in children aged 7 and 12 years?

Asked by Female, 32 · 2 days ago

For children aged 7 and 12 years, calcium deficiency is treated by adding more calcium-rich foods such as milk, curd, cheese, ragi, sesame seeds, cereals, and green leafy vegetables to their diet. If the deficiency is more severe, a doctor may recommend calcium and vitamin D supplements. Regular sunlight exposure and physical activity also help improve calcium absorption and bone strength.
