Hello Doctor, My baby is 16 months old. In our last visit to doctor, calcium and iron tonics were prescribed. Both to be taken together at morning and night. Is that actually required? Can that be taken together? Bcz when i was pregnant, i was asked not to take iron and calcium together. Please help.

A. no calcium n iron supplement can't taken together.. as calcium block the absorption of iron in gut. give your child well balanced diet with seasonal fruit and vegetables. tc
