Question
My child has split fingers due to zinc and calcium deficiencies, likes to bite clothes, is a bit underweight, and has low resistance. Previous treatment and outcomes: Taking calcium tablets. What kind of help would you like: What supplements should I give him?
Answer
Based on your description, the child has been diagnosed with deficiencies in trace elements such as zinc and calcium, which are related to these symptoms. Improvement can be achieved by increasing nutritional intake, such as consuming foods rich in calcium, like dried small fish, milk, and dark green vegetables; at the same time, also eat more zinc-containing foods, such as oysters, beef, and nuts. In addition to food intake, you can also consider giving your child zinc and calcium nutritional supplements, but please consult a doctor or nutritionist first.
