Inform your child's doctor if your child is on any medical regime or is allergic to any medicine, product, or food. Do share details with your child's doctor if your child has or had any heart, liver, or kidney problems. Any history regarding bowel obstruction, malnutrition, weight-related issues, and thyroid problems should also be well indicated to the doctor to avoid any complications in the treatment.
