Question
What should a child eat if they have zinc deficiency?
Answer
Traditional Chinese medicine often diagnoses severe zinc deficiency as just a common cold with poor spirit. The main way to supplement zinc is through diet. Foods high in zinc include oysters, malt, lean meat, fish, milk, walnuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, seaweed, and animal liver. There are many reasons for endocrine diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with doctors for active treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression and developing good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to allow their children to develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
