Is it good for my baby to take zinc and calcium supplements 17 days after birth?

Patient's question:

My baby was born 17 days ago and has been taking medicine one pill a day for 50 days. Are there any side effects? When the baby was just born, the doctor prescribed to take one pill every other day, but it was taken incorrectly. Now it has been 72 days. Should I continue taking it or what?

Doctor's answer:

Long-term excessive intake of vitamin A and D can lead to chronic poisoning. Early symptoms include bone and joint pain, swelling, skin itching, dry cracked lips, fever, headache, dry cough, constipation, nausea and vomiting, and nausea. It is recommended to carefully observe whether the baby has symptoms of chronic vitamin A and D poisoning. Pain and itching are difficult for babies to express but they will cry and be restless. If there are no symptoms of poisoning, there is no need to worry. Without symptoms of poisoning, the baby can focus on eating.
