Question
The child doesn’t eat anything, especially meat, and only eats vegetables like cucumbers and ham. Now they are underweight and like to rub their head. What’s going on?
Answer
A child who doesn’t eat might be suffering from anorexia caused by zinc deficiency, which can also lead to yellowing of the hair. Here are some suggestions: One, give the child zinc gluconate tablets to supplement zinc and improve digestion. Two, if necessary, check for trace elements to rule out the possibility of high blood lead levels. If indeed there is high blood lead, use products like Schisandra and Jujube Oral Liquid for lead elimination.
