Question
What causes severe zinc deficiency in children?
Answer
This condition in babies is considered primarily due to a lack of trace elements, which is a major cause of pediatric anorexia. It is necessary to have a test for trace elements to determine if there is a zinc deficiency. If the anorexia is due to a zinc deficiency from a lack of trace elements, taking zinc gluconate oral solution for symptomatic treatment can be effective, and many digestive aids can also be taken orally for treatment.
