Is Regular Intake Of Calcimax By A 4 Year Old Advisable?

Hi, my daughter is 4 years old. For last one month she becomes cranky very frequently. Can it be because of any deficiency because she doesn t take milk regularly and is a fussy eater but takes fruits happily. I have never given any iron syrup to her till date since she also sometimes have constipation though sometimes I give her calcimax for calcium. Is it safe to give calcimax on a regular basis? And shall I start any iron syrup?

Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, if she is getting cranky or irritable, look for other causes like social stressors, etc.

Sometimes kids need extra attention, motivational sessions, avoiding too much screen time, outdoor activities etc may be helpful.

Meanwhile, calcium syp can continue for a month or two. Oral iron or zinc can be given for a month too. Lysine mineral complexes may be given to improve appetite and natural fruits intake should be encouraged.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
