At your age, if you are having a good balanced diet you do not need any calcium tablets. Make sure you eat fresh vegetables, fruits, protein and dairy products. You can also eat chicken/eggs/fish if you are a non-vegetarian. Exercise the elbow as instructed by your doctor.
It is too early to decide if the plate needs removal. The fracture takes 3-4 months to heal and then lots of physio is needed to get a good range of movement. Only once you have fully recovered this decision can be made. Sometimes the plates are left and there is no harm.
Hope this helps.
