Question
Why do children keep licking walls? Many people say it’s because of zinc deficiency. Is that true? What were the treatment situations and effects in the past? I want to get some help: I want to know what to supplement.
Answer
This behavior might be triggered by a child’s curiosity, thinking it’s fun. It could also be due to a lack of trace elements. It’s important to address this situation promptly. It’s best to have the baby tested for trace element levels to confirm if a deficiency is the cause, so that timely supplementation can be done. Wishing for good health.
