Patient's question:
Sixteen months have passed, and the trace element check revealed a zinc deficiency. What should be done? His appetite is still good, but he's a bit thin, weighing only 19 pounds. Is this caused by the zinc deficiency? What kind of assistance is needed: How to supplement zinc...Doctor's answer:
Zinc deficiency in the body can disrupt many physiological functions. In children, zinc deficiency can lead to various diseases, not only resulting in stunted growth and poor weight gain but also causing rough skin, yellow and soft hair that appears dry. It can also harm their taste buds, altering their sense of taste and leading to a loss of appetite, picky eating, and pica (craving non-food items). Some children may dislike eating things like matches, raw flour, soil, sand, paper, and cigarette butts, which is often due to zinc deficiency. Additionally, zinc-deficient children are more prone to respiratory diseases such as colds, pneumonia, and bronchitis.To make three-bean porridge, use an ample amount of green beans, black beans, and red beans, along with a small amount of rice.
