Question
A parent has discovered that their nearly 10-month-old son has an elevated blood lead level of 3.7ug/gHB, which is higher than the normal value of less than 3. The parent is seeking assistance and hopes to find effective lead removal methods. Currently, the child is mainly breastfed and has been introduced to a small amount of complementary food.
Answer
For children with elevated blood lead levels, it is recommended to have them consume kiwifruit. For young infants, the kiwifruit can be juiced and then fed after being diluted with warm water. The treatment principle for high blood lead levels involves combining clinical treatment, health education, and environmental intervention. Non-pharmacological lead removal methods include using health care liquids containing amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, which can specifically activate enzymes within the body to promote the dissociation of lead from tissues, accelerate the transfer of lead within the body, and quickly excrete it through urine and feces. Additionally, forming the habit of washing hands before meals and being cautious about preventing the contact of food with the text and patterns on plastic bags is also important for preventing and reducing lead intake.
