It is wiser not to give small capsules to them as they do not know how to swallow that well yet and can cause choking or aspiration.. Please tell the adequate weight of the child. A 2 year old should be around 11/12 kg.This age group children are more active and eat less. You can give multivitamin syrup Syp. Zincovit 6 ml once daily after food for 2/3 weeks. Syrups are better than capsules in this age group
