Question
My child is five years old and frequently suffers from laryngitis. These days, there are blisters in her mouth as well. She has a weak constitution and is prone to catching colds. I bought her vitamin C tablets, can she take them every day? If not, for how long can she take them at one time?
Answer
Based on your description, it’s best not to take vitamin C long-term, usually one to two weeks should suffice. I suggest you pay attention to your child’s balanced diet, a mix of meat and vegetables, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of plain water, and try to eat fewer snacks and fast food. I hope these suggestions can help you, and wish your child a speedy recovery!
