Question

The child may have inhaled mercury, and now the hair has turned yellow. We want to check the mercury levels in the body.

Answer

Since there are no specific symptoms of mercury poisoning, if there is concern, you can check urine and blood mercury concentrations. The yellowing of the hair could be due to other reasons, such as insufficient nutrient intake or poor intestinal absorption. It is recommended to consult a dermatologist to investigate the cause of the hair yellowing and ensure the child is getting enough nutrition. Wishing the child a healthy growth!
