Patient's question:
A friend bought gluconate zinc for her baby to drink, saying it improved the baby's appetite. My baby also doesn't eat well, but after checking, it turns out he doesn't lack zinc. Is it necessary to give him gluconate zinc?Doctor's answer:
If you check carefully and find no zinc deficiency, there is no need to supplement, or you can supplement a little less. You can try drinking this for a week to see the effect. If there is no significant effect, you don't need to drink it anymore. If the child doesn't like to eat, consider the possibility of indigestion or poor digestion. Additionally, you should also limit snacks and avoid eating too much. The above is advice for the question "Is it necessary for the baby to take gluconate zinc if they are not deficient in zinc?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wish you health!
