Question
A ten-year-old child started to develop white hair two months ago, mainly on the back of the head, and the parents are very worried about their child’s sudden white hair.
Answer
Based on the patient’s age, symptoms, and medical history, it is recommended that parents take their child to a regular specialist for a thorough examination. Usually, there is no direct connection between cervical problems and the appearance of white hair. Parents should pay attention to their child’s rest, diet, and maintain a comfortable mood. In addition, it is suggested that children avoid overexertion, cold exposure, and spicy foods, consume fresh fruits and vegetables, drink adequate water, and consider undergoing trace element testing.
