Introduction
The main symptoms of calcium deficiency in 15-year-old adolescents include convulsions, poor mental state, and loss of appetite. In addition to these symptoms, they may also experience difficulty falling asleep, slow intellectual development, and weakened immunity. It is recommended that patients promptly visit a hospital for examination and proper treatment. Medication should be taken as directed by a physician to promote recovery.

  The main symptoms of calcium deficiency in 15-year-old adolescents include muscle spasms, poor mental state, and loss of appetite. A detailed analysis is as follows:
  1. Muscle spasms
  When adolescents are deficient in calcium, muscle irritability may increase, leading to frequent muscle twitching or spasms.
  2. Poor mental state
  Calcium deficiency may reduce serum calcium ion concentration, increasing neuromuscular excitability and causing abnormal mental conditions such as low mood and anxiety.
  3. Loss of appetite
  Calcium deficiency can also cause abnormalities in the digestive system, resulting in厌食 (loss of appetite) and poor appetite in adolescents.
  In addition to the above symptoms, individuals may also experience difficulty falling asleep, slow intellectual development, and weakened immunity. It is recommended that patients promptly visit a hospital for evaluation and appropriate treatment. Medications such as calcium carbonate tablets, calcium gluconate injection, and calcium carbonate D3 tablets may be used under medical guidance to promote recovery. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be actively made by consuming more calcium-rich foods such as milk, tofu, and soybeans.
