Question
How should I handle a 2-year-old baby with sparse, yellow hair and excessive urination?
Answer
Based on the above symptoms, it is suspected that the baby may be showing signs of zinc deficiency. It is recommended to take the baby for a trace element test and, under the guidance of a doctor, use zinc gluconate oral solution for treatment. For diagnosed pediatric endocrine diseases, parents should cooperate with the doctor’s treatment plan, including gastrointestinal decompression measures, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention to avoiding picky eating and maintaining a balanced diet.
