For the growth and development of children, it is necessary to receive a number of vitamins and microelements. Lack of vitamins in the child's body entails rickets, insufficient body growth, late appearance of teeth, and subsequently dental problems. In addition, the child often begins to get sick, eat poorly and sleep poorly.
Instructions
Step 1
Any vitamin complexes or a separate group of vitamins can only be prescribed by a local pediatrician. It is completely unacceptable to give your child any vitamins without a doctor's recommendation. Lack of vitamins and minerals, of course, leads to certain problems with growth, health and appetite, but this cannot be compared with the harm that uncontrolled intake of vitamins can cause to a child. An excess of vitamins or one of some kind of vitamin, as well as minerals, causes irreparable harm to the child. If the doctor has prescribed vitamin complexes for your child, then they should be given in an easily digestible form, which is specially designed for children of a certain age.
Step 2
When you start giving your child vitamin complexes or some kind of vitamins, then the first week you need to monitor the baby's reaction. If the child has the first signs of allergic reactions, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, drowsiness or insomnia, signs of choking, anxiety, then immediately stop taking vitamins and see a doctor. If the reaction to vitamins develops in an acute form, call emergency help immediately.
Step 3
When giving your child vitamin complexes, always strictly adhere to the recommended dose. If the body is already saturated with vitamins, then allergic reactions may begin, even if the child has never suffered from allergies before. Therefore, at the first sign of a skin rash, stop taking vitamins and see your doctor.
Step 4
Any vitamins should be given after meals or during meals to minimize the impact on the children's stomach.
Step 5
The most acceptable form of vitamins for a child are complexes in the form of gels, powders or syrup. They are the most easily digested and easy to set an individual dose for taking than when taking vitamins in pills or capsules, besides, children take them with pleasure.
Step 6
Immediately after you have given the child a dose of the vitamin complex, remove the pack or bottle out of the reach of the child, as there are often cases when the child gets to the package and ate the whole pack of vitamins, which can be dangerous not only for health, but also for the child's life …
