Is zinc supplement helpful during and after dysentery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zinc supplementation: Especially in children in developing countries, zinc supplementation has been shown to decrease the duration and severity of diarrhea episodes and the likelihood of some subsequent infections. The optimal dose in this setting has not been established yet. Good luck.
