Question
What might be the causes of a child aged 8 or 9 developing gray hair? What impact can this situation have on the child? How should treatment be carried out, and when can improvement be expected?
Answer
If a child in their early to late childhood years exhibits a small amount of gray hair, it may be due to a deficiency in trace elements or other underlying conditions. It is advisable for parents to take their child to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up to determine the specific cause and receive appropriate treatment. In daily life, attention should be paid to providing the child with a balanced diet and increasing the intake of trace elements. Such comprehensive measures can help improve the child’s condition with regard to gray hair.
