Iron supplement
My son has just turned 6 and we have 0.5 ml iron drop today but he did not like it and started puking after that . He threw up all milk and continued puking 6-7 times .. even after giving domstal he threw that up as well and whatever remained. If this would happen with iron supplement, how am I supposed to give him the doze?
