Im worried because my 12-year-old brother accidentally took a zincovit tablet that expired and was manufactured back in July 2014. Could this cause any health problems for him?

Adjusting UniEnzyme Dosage for IBS-Related Bloating

Consult your doctor before increasing dosage:

  1. Dose escalation: Your doctor may consider increasing the dosage to 2-2-2 tablets, but only under medical supervision.
  2. Potential side effects: Higher doses may lead to gastrointestinal side effects, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, or nausea.
  3. Alternative options: If the increased dosage is not effective, your doctor may recommend alternative treatments, such as:
    • Probiotics
    • Antispasmodics
    • Low-FODMAP diet
    • Other enzyme supplements

Schedule a follow-up appointment:

  1. Re-evaluate symptoms: Discuss your persistent bloating and stomach heaviness with your doctor.
  2. Adjust treatment plan: Work with your doctor to adjust your treatment plan and find a more effective solution.

I'm a bit worried about my family member. He had a cold on the 14th and 15th, and then on the 16th, he started having a fever along with a headache and pain in both legs, which kept him up all night. Whenever he gets a fever, his legs usually hurt too. Weve been giving him crosin and other meds as advised by a clinic doctor. He seemed okay this morning, but now the pain is back. Hes really sensitive, so Im looking for guidance on how to help him feel better. What do you think we should do?
