My son is a very picky eater, does not eat fruits or vegetables. he will not drink milk , he use to drink Pediasure but I stopped giving it to him because it caused him to have very bad breath. He is 8 years old and weighs 64 lbs. I am noticing his teeth getting yellow and I want to know what vitamins or supplements should he take

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.com

As per the age the weight is appropriate. As per my opinion he does not require extra supplement in form of medication. However I suggest you to prepare variety of recipe with fruits and vegetable. Kids get attracted toward new taste.
Source of nutrients from vegetables and fruits is much better than the extra supplements in form of pills.

Hope this is informative to you. and your vote of thanks is very much appreacted!
With best wishes,
Dr. Vishwanath Patil
