Question
My baby is 5 months and 10 days old, and recently for the past month, when she is about to fall asleep while feeding, there are slight tremors in her head and hands. What kind of examination should I have her undergo?
Answer
Hello, zinc deficiency may lead to symptoms such as decreased appetite, diminished taste, and abnormal behavior. You can feed your 5-month-old baby with porridge containing calcium, iron, and zinc, gradually increasing the intake of vegetables and fruits to develop good eating habits. At the same time, supplement zinc appropriately based on test results to treat the deficiency. Babies with zinc deficiency may exhibit abnormal behavior; you can try adding complementary foods and observe your baby’s condition. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for Brain Electroencephalogram and other relevant examinations to rule out other possibilities.
