Question
My child’s hair is thin and slow-growing, with a yellowish texture. The hair stops growing after reaching about one centimeter. We have checked with the hospital multiple times, and the trace elements are not lacking. This time, we want to check with you again. Which department should we visit? What kind of assistance do we need?
Answer
Hello, a 5-year-old child’s thin, slow-growing hair may be due to the aforementioned symptoms caused by a lack of calcium and zinc. It is recommended to actively administer calcium gluconate oral solution and zinc gluconate oral solution for adjustment. During this period, it is also beneficial to ensure your child consumes plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits.
