Patient's question:
Last year, I had my tonsil surgery, and I noticed that my child bites their nails. They also eat their own snot. About the past treatment and its effectiveness: No treatment was given. What kind of assistance do you need: What is actually going on with the child?Doctor's answer:
If the child experiences this situation again, it could be due to a helminth infection. Generally, when there is an intestinal parasitic infection, the child may again exhibit pica (a craving for non-food items), such as raw rice or vegetable leaves. Besides your child's condition.Recommendations: Besides the child experiencing occasional abdominal pain, difficulty sleeping, and teeth grinding, the child may also exhibit this condition due to severe zinc deficiency. This is often characterized by poor growth, yellow hair, poor appetite, and a preference for unusual food items.
