Patient's question:
I went to the maternal and child health hospital to have my son's blood drawn for a trace element check. The doctor said his lead level was a bit high and prescribed "Qianguhua Lead-Removing Oral Liquid" and Zinc Xibao for zinc supplementation. My questions are: 1. Could you help me predict what the results of my son's test might be? Is this test result normal? 2. Is the current blood test for children's trace elements accurate? 3. How can children effectively remove lead? What are the side effects of lead-removing oral liquids, and how can they cause harm to a child's body? Can calcium and zinc be taken together in children? My son is taking Sanjing Brand Gluconate Calcium and Sanjing Brand Gluconate Zinc. How effective are these? I have many questions, so please answer them one by one. Thank you!!Doctor's answer:
1, Testing for human trace elements can be done through various methods such as urine tests, milk tests, blood tests, and hair tests. The most commonly used methods are blood tests and hair tests. Hair tests and blood tests are generally quite accurate.2, Your baby's blood lead levels are not qualified. You can eat lead-excreting foods, such as: shrimp skin, milk, soy products, carrots, garlic, beef, animal liver, and foods rich in vitamin C. You can also eat more lean meat, fish, black fungus, kelp, black beans, and eggs. Try to use food to nourish the child. Drug-based lead removal has certain adverse reactions, and its effectiveness is not very certain.
