Good morning. Is it possible to lubricate a 9-year-old child with mupirox ointment and give vitamin C or vitamin D3?
Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Mupirox is a prescription medicine, so the appropriateness and need for its use in a child should be assessed by a doctor. Do not use this preparation without consulting your doctor.
If you do not have the possibility of an in-person visit, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:

There are no contraindications to the use of vitamins D and C in a child. The recommended dosages for children of this age are:
Vitamin D3: 600-1000IU/day
Vitamin C: 50 mg/day
