Brief Answer:
Amount specified.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

The difference between Bevon Drop and Syrup is the concentration. 1 ml of Bevon Multivitamin Drop or 5 ml of Bevon Multivitamin Syrup per day would be ideal for a 21 month child. However, let me remark that vitamins are required only in microscopic quantities and cannot be stored. They can be procured from the food itself and do not need to be substituted. Unless there are specific deficiency symptoms, taking them is useless and they land getting flushed out through urine. If given, a dose for 5-7 days usually suffices.

Sometimes it really difficult to open her mouth to eat.. Hence asking for that. Is there anything that make her eat property..

Brief Answer:
Bevon will not help in case your child is a fussy eater.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back and for clarifying. For a fussy eater, giving Bevon will not help. There are a few things to be done:
* Do not force feed the baby. Wait for the child to get hungry and demand food. Wait for the interest to be hers and not yours.
* Eat together. Make the child sit together with you at the dining table. (Let how much she eats then, be secondary).
* Keep the feeding amount small and keep non junk food like fruits stored in the reach of the child.
* Take the child along when you go to fetch groceries. Let her choose fruits and vegetables. Ask her what to make with them. She will eat those items better.

Hope that helps.

Thanks doctor... As my baby is fussy eater, can I give her any health drink, like pediasure etc. I hvn't started any. What is the right age to start an health drink? She is 21 months old. And what is the amount to give per day? Thanks in advance.

Brief Answer:
Health drinks would not help.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back once again. Our energy comes from carbohydrates (cereals) and our body is built and repaired using proteins (meat, egg, fish, soya, spinach, carrots, etc.). All these are required in bulk. Hence health drinks cannot act as a substitute of these (unless you plan to give half a kilo of health drink powder every day). So I would not recommend health drinks. The choice is yours.
