Dr. Jiang Zhiyang
For a two-year-old child with mild calcium deficiency, dietary supplementation is recommended—for example, increasing intake of dairy products. Soy-based foods such as soy milk and soybean juice are also beneficial. In cases of more severe calcium deficiency, calcium supplements should be administered, along with vitamin D supplementation. Additionally, regular sun exposure for the child can help enhance calcium absorption.
