Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. There are no significant abnormalities, but the baby sometimes trembles. Does zinc deficiency in children lead to ADHD?
Answer
Zinc deficiency in children can easily lead to loss of appetite, oral ulcers, decreased immunity, frequent colds and fevers, and delayed mental development. While zinc deficiency may also cause ADHD, your baby’s condition might be due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with calcium, especially through yogurt, which not only provides calcium but also helps regulate intestinal function. Parents should pay close attention to this.
