Question
My child is about to turn seven, and a portion of their hair has turned yellow, even red. What could be the reason for this? The trace element test results are within the normal range, but only slightly higher than the normal values. They have taken vitamins and calcium, iron, and zinc supplements, but there has been no noticeable effect.
Answer
This situation is usually due to malnutrition or picky eating, which leads to deficiencies in vitamins or trace elements such as calcium, iron, and zinc. It is recommended to increase the child’s nutritional intake, maintain a balanced diet, and enhance the child’s physique to avoid colds and fevers. They can eat more spinach, pork liver, jujube, beef, lean meat, eggs, milk, or take calcium, iron, and zinc oral liquids. After one to three months of nourishment, the condition should improve.
