A member asked:
My grand daughter was given a toxic dose of zinc , had a severe reaction, skin peeling off entire body, is that toxic epidermal necrolysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ask the DR: Zinc toxicity causes diarrhea. There may be vomiting as well. Something very different is happening.You left out too much to get anything else. WHY WAS THIS CHILD GIVEN ANY ZINC AT ALL? What dose? How administered? Once? Or more? There are very few legitimate reasons to take zinc.
