Question

What should you do if you accidentally give your child an excessive amount of fish liver oil during feeding?

Answer

Fish liver oil is primarily rich in vitamins A and D, commonly used to treat vitamin A and D deficiencies. If taken in excess all at once, it usually does not have serious consequences, but it may lead to vitamin A accumulation, causing temporary yellowing of the eyes. Don’t worry too much; the problem is not severe. It’s recommended to promote its metabolism through normal diet. Babies can take vitamin D monthly for 25 days, then stop for 5-6 days, and continue the next month. Please use it under a doctor’s guidance.
