Doctor's answer:
A baby around one year old has white spots on their fingernails, sometimes has nosebleeds at night but not often, has difficulty sleeping during naps, and doesn't enjoy dinner. It's considered that a lack of trace elements may be the cause, specifically calcium and zinc deficiency. It is recommended to have a thorough trace element check-up at the hospital to confirm if there is a deficiency of calcium and zinc. It is advised to supplement with zinc and calcium, such as taking calcium and zinc supplements together, and to eat more foods rich in calcium and zinc, such as soy products, dairy products, bone broth, fish, meat, eggs, and poultry.
