Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. yes everyday
it is very important to give iron supplements to the child because the diet before 1 year of age is having very less amount of iron and it is very common that if the child is not given iron supplements the child will suffer from iron deficiency anaemia so bettexr to continue iron supplements given by your doctor
iron supplements need to be taken on an empty stomach. it can be taken anytime of the day but it is advisable to take either 1 hour before food or 1 hour after food.
if taken with food the advantage of the medicine will be less.
also it is not advisable to take iron supplements with any other medicine and a gap should be maintained if other medicines are going on(half hour gap is enough).
you have to make the child drink water after taking iron supplements otherwise it can cause black staining of the tooth.
it will lead to black colour stool of the child which is totally normal.
