Regarding calcium levels

2023-07-05 13:57:07
My baby is 2.5 months old and he is having shivering in leg. Doctor has advised calcimax. My baby is full term and birth weight is around 4.1kg I am giving him vitamin d3 drops. Is it ok to give calcimax as well as advised by the doctor. We have not checked his calcium levels and doctor has prescribed when I told him about leg shivered symptoms. Is it safe to give both calcimax and vitamin d3 without test. Is there anything called overdose of calcium syrup in babies if we are giving without checking the calcium levels.
