Patient's question:
How can I address zinc deficiency? Should I use medication or food to supplement it? Please help me, doctor?Digestion: The baby is still breastfeeding, but the milk output is very low and not enough to satisfy him. The baby doesn’t really like complementary foods, but he’ll eat some formula, though in small amounts—about 100 ml per time. If I try to make him eat more, he’ll get nauseous and spit up. Is this normal? His height and weight are both on track.
What assistance is needed: Please reply online, doctor.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to first check for trace elements and speculate how zinc and calcium deficiencies might occur. If the child has yellow hair due to zinc deficiency, zinc supplements can be taken, with a daily dosage of 2-5 milligrams. Nuts, lean meat, animal organs, and fish roe are rich in zinc and can be crushed and added to porridge for consumption.
