Question
What could be the reasons for a child experiencing toothache and having thinner hair than their peers?
Answer
Toothache in children is often common in early childhood cavities, while thinning hair may have various causes. It is recommended to visit a hospital to check for deficiencies of zinc and other trace elements. Thinning hair with soft texture is mainly due to malnutrition. Generally, insufficient nutrition in the womb, especially a lack of vitamin A and vitamins B1, B2, B6, B12, folic acid, calcium, zinc, and iron, can lead to thin and soft hair, affecting normal hair growth and development.
