Zinc syrup for increase appetite

2025-06-11 17:01:37
Is it okay to give my 2.5-year-old son, who's weight 12.3 kg, zinc syrup (Zn20 - 5 ml at night for 7 days) to help increase his appetite? He had diarrhea about a month and a half ago, during which I gave him this syrup, and it improved his hunger levels. Please advise.
