Iron syrup for baby
Hello Doctor, My son is 1 year 2 months old. When he completed 1 year pediatrician suggested to give Softeron Gold Suspension Iron syrup daily morning and night 3ml each time. But on the latest purchased box it's saying the syrup for above 2 yrs kids (please check the attached pic). What to do? Shall I continue this syrup for my son. Please suggest.

No need to worry.. it means  Pharma company advices to take above 2 years. It doesn't mean that contraindicated below age of 2 years..
