Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. There are no major abnormalities, but they sometimes tremble. Can zinc deficiency in children lead to ADHD?
Answer
Zinc deficiency in children can easily lead to anorexia, a tendency to develop oral ulcers, stunted growth, weakness, decreased immunity, frequent colds and fevers, and delayed intellectual development. Sometimes it can also cause ADHD, so parents should pay close attention. It is recommended to supplement with zinc. Yogurt is also a very good source of calcium supplementation; not only does it provide calcium, but the beneficial bacteria it contains can also regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for all ages.
