Can babies take zinc supplements when they have a cold?

If your baby has a cold, you should stop taking zinc supplements, because during a cold, your baby’s gastrointestinal tract is dysfunctional, and its ability to digest and absorb food decreases, so the zinc supplements are absorbed less, which affects the effectiveness of the zinc supplements. It is recommended that zinc supplementation be considered after the cold has subsided, and at the same time, the cold should be actively treated. Pay attention to feed the baby more water, more vegetables and fruits, drugs can choose to use pediatric aminophenol xuanamin granules, cough and phlegm can be used to use pediatric clear lung phlegm granules.
