Paralysis in child after Vitamin A dose.
A 9-month-old child in Bigga village of Sri Dungargarh town of Bikaner (Rajasthan) got sick after being given a dose of Vitamin A.
According to the information received, a dose of Vitamin A was given to the child in the Anganwadi ( Maternal and child health services ) center of Bigga village as part of the regular vaccination program. On returning home, the child started vomiting and diarrheas’.
After a day, he was shown to the local doctor. The doctor also told the child to be normal. But when the child’s health worsened and there was deformity in the child’s eyes, the family members showed him to a private doctor in Bikaner.
After examination it was found that there was water in the child’s spine, which could possibly be due to the dose of Vitamin A given. And in case of late treatment, the child could have been paralyzed.
Foodmen have always been in favor of taking nutritional ingredients natural and organic. Foodman has already published many articles regarding vitamins,
in which the side effects of vitamins and anti-vitamins and pseudo-vitamins have been explained in simple language. Even today vitamins are being given in our country on the basis of foreign research.
It is not that this case of Bikaner is rare. Many times the health of the children has also deteriorated during the dose of vitamins and vaccination. And in many cases serious consequences have been seen.
But these news are not shown prominently by the media. This news has been prominently published by Bikaner Dainik Bhaskar. But there is no movement in the administration regarding this.
