What is it about?
The most inexpensive, reliable, non-toxic and effective treatment for AE is long-term zinc supplement consumption. Children with AE are recommended to consume daily dosage of 1-2 mg per kg body weight. Adults should consume three zinc supplements per day where the total amount of zinc is 220 mg (74 mg three times daily). Zinc supplements including zinc acetate, zinc gluconate, and zinc sulfate are effective in treating AE. If the AE is very severe, injection of 10-20 mg of zinc chloride is necessary. After initial treatment with zinc supplement, symptoms start to improve.
