Question
My child is now two months and two weeks old. Recently, when I took him to play with sand and soil, he always put them in his mouth and ate them with great enthusiasm. He has never undergone any related treatment, and I hope the doctor can provide some suggestions.
Answer
According to your description, your child may have pica, which could be caused by a deficiency of trace elements or parasitic infections. It is necessary to conduct laboratory tests to determine the cause. You can give your child zinc supplements and undergo deworming treatment.
