The main types of vitamin C suitable for children are vitamin C effervescent tablets and vitamin C tablets.
Parents can choose according to their children’s preference, but it is generally not recommended for children to take vitamin C medication routinely. In case of vitamin C deficiency, it can be supplemented by eating more vitamin C-rich foods such as kiwis, oranges, apples and tomatoes.
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, and when insufficient intake of vitamin C leads to deficiency, symptoms such as pallor, poor appetite, decreased immunity, bleeding gums, and stunted physical growth can occur. At this point, you can seek medical attention and apply vitamin C medication as advised by your physician.
