Thank you for your question Ms. Sofia,
For zinc administration according to the child^s age. if the child is less than 6 months of age, 10 mg of zinc is given. if the child is six months old or older, a dose of 20 mg is given, and zinc is given for 10 days.
The main side effect of a over dose of zinc is a decrease in zinc absorption. other effects that can be felt such as nausea, vomiting, flatulence and dizziness.
