Question
Can children drink water in the morning before a blood test?
Answer
Hello, it’s best for children not to drink water in the morning before a blood test as this helps maintain the purity of the blood sample, allowing doctors to more accurately detect vitamin and trace element levels in the child’s body. If the child is thirsty, they can be allowed to drink a small amount of water an hour before the test. Additionally, supplementing with vitamins and trace elements, such as through consuming abundant vegetables and fruits or taking specialized supplements, can help improve their health condition.
