Hi!
Yes, zinc supplements are known to improve immunity but shouldn’t be taken without a prescription and detailed assessment of current health conditions.
Zinc supplements are being used in the treatment of covid-19 along with many other medications, so do not start taking any medication by reading news/ google etc.
include dry fruits , fresh fruits and vegetables, 2 litres of water, milk and milk products, good sleep and light exercise daily to keep immunity at optimum levels.
A detailed assessment is necessary to provide more support and prescription of medication, specially for children.
Next Steps
Stay hydrated, eat healthy. Consult on practo.com for further advice
Health Tips
Avoid taking any medication/supplement without expert advice or prescription
