Concerns about Poly-Vi-flor 0.5mg Chewable Tabs for children - My son reacted badly!
I've been giving my 5-year-old Poly-Vi-flor 0.5mg Chewable Tabs daily as recommended by our pediatrician, but recently, he started showing some worrying signs. I am hearing about a few other side effects online. Has anyone else experienced issues, or am I just being paranoid? I need some advice here, as I don’t want to stop the supplements without proper medical reasoning. The tablets are supposed to support his growth and prevent cavities, but the symptoms he's showing are alarming. Here’s a summary: he’s got a rash, a bit of itching, and his stomach has been upset for a couple of days. I don’t know if these are normal reactions or if I should be concerned. He’s also been a bit hoarse, but I don’t know how to interpret that. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Vitamins and supplements can be hit or miss with kids. My son had flue and needed to take vitamins to build his immunity against the cold. Poly-Vi-flor worked for him.
Have you tried giving him the tablets with food? Sometimes taking them with a meal can help with stomach upset.
I had the same experience with my 6 year old. They told me to continue the tablets with some stomach medicine and it helped. I don’t know the specifics of the medicine, but it worked for my kid. He started reacting only after a few weeks.
My daughter had the same issue. Her pediatrician recommended stopping the tabs and switching to a different vitamin supplement. Her symptoms went away after a week. She’s been fine since we switched to a different brand. But please consult your doctor first.
That sounds serious to me. I would contact your pediatrician immediately, especially with the hoarseness and rash. Better safe than sorry.
Allergic reactions can be scary. If it's anything like an allergic reaction, you should take him to the hospital right away. Don’t wait to see what happens, just get him checked out.
