Patient's question:
Doctor,My child rarely grows hair. Is it because of zinc and calcium deficiency? If it is due to zinc and calcium deficiency, what medicine can help? Thank you, doctor!
Doctor's answer:
Hello! It's a pleasure to assist you. In severe cases, it's necessary to take medication supplements under the guidance of a doctor, while also paying attention to dietary supplements. Eat more foods rich in calcium and zinc, and be mindful of food combinations that may hinder each other's absorption. Generally, it's recommended not to supplement calcium and zinc simultaneously, as it's usually better to take them with a half-hour interval for better absorption. You can also rely on dietary supplements. Eat more zinc-rich foods such as seaweed, laver, fish paste, cuttlefish, pork liver, chicken liver, egg yolks, and soybeans. At the same time, pay attention to eating more calcium-rich foods, such as dairy products, animal liver, eggs, beans, nuts, shrimp, sesame paste, laver, seafood, hawthorn, and some green vegetables.
