Are iron drops turning your child’s teeth black? Here’s what parents need to know
Pediatrician Dr. Pawan Madaviya warns parents against giving iron drops directly to children, as this can cause black stains on teeth and tongue. He advises mixing the drops with citric juice like orange or mousambi juice, followed by water. Crucially, avoid mixing iron with milk, as calcium hinders absorption.
