Question
What causes severe zinc deficiency in children?
Answer
This condition in babies is mainly attributed to a lack of trace elements, which is a common cause of decreased appetite in children. It’s necessary to have a test for trace elements to see if there is a zinc deficiency. If the decreased appetite is due to zinc deficiency from trace element deficiency, taking zinc gluconate oral solution for symptomatic treatment can be effective. Additionally, many digestive aids can be taken orally to assist with treatment.
