What should children eat if they are calcium deficient?

The phenomenon of calcium deficiency in children cannot be ignored, because calcium deficiency is not conducive to the growth and development of their bones. If a child is calcium deficient, calcium can be supplemented through daily diet, such as egg drop tofu soup or fish, vegetable and rice paste, etc. These complementary foods have a good calcium supplement effect.
