[|Human|] Hi, I have a kid who is 13 months old. He does not eat well it is hard for me to make him eat. So i informed that to my Pediatrician and he gave me fortiron syrup. I just wanted know whether it is good to give my son the syrup. Whether it will cause any side effect. Do my son really suffer from Iron defecency so he is not eating ???
[|AI|]  Hi, the syrup name that you have mentioned contains iron and is an iron syrup which is given in child Chat Doctor.  Iron syrup should not be given without proper evidence of iron deficiency anemia. You should do blood test like complete blood count with peripheral smear, iron studies and hemoglobin electrophoresis if your child is anemic. Based on the reports, proper treatment needs to be started. I hope this will help you. Take care.
