hello thanks for writing to healthcaremagic you should definitely change his eating pattern of eating only fried vegetables do this by forming a example for him to follow............explain that its wrong to eat fried stuff when on takes iron syrup the teeth can get stained so i advise to gargle and spit after having iron syrup hope this helps take care
