Question
My child has been crying a lot lately and doesn’t eat much. What could be the reason for a newborn’s yellow hair?
Answer
Newborns’ yellow hair may be due to deficiencies in zinc, iron, calcium, and copper. It is recommended that parents have their child tested for trace elements in the hair to determine the specific deficiency. Appropriate treatment can be administered, such as using children’s Dicalcium Phosphate or calcium gluconate oral solution for treatment, and also adding cod liver oil while ensuring increased sunlight exposure to promote calcium absorption. If zinc deficiency is detected, glucose acid zinc treatment can be applied, and attention should be paid to a balanced diet and regular consumption of fruits and vegetables to alleviate symptoms.
