Question
Can a 5-month-old baby drink Zinc Calcium Oral Solution? The baby was diagnosed with zinc deficiency one month after birth and was prescribed Zinc Calcium Oral Solution. However, due to the baby’s young age at the time, I was hesitant to give it to him. Now that the baby is 5 months old, can I start giving it to him?
Answer
At 5 months old, it is recommended to have a trace element test first to determine if there is a zinc deficiency. If there is a clear zinc deficiency, it is advisable to supplement with zinc preparations, such as zinc gluconate oral solution, which usually works well.
