Patient's question:
Why does a two-year-old child lose hair when washing their hair? Every time, they can lose more than ten strands, and there are also hairs on the pillow after taking a nap! The child is healthy and has no other diseases. What could be the reason for this? Is it necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up? This situation has lasted for more than three and a half months.Doctor's answer:
In this case, the baby may be lacking in trace elements. Regarding hair loss in children, there are two main considerations: either the nutrition is not keeping up or there may be chronic poisoning, such as chronic lead poisoning (caused by car exhaust). It is recommended to visit a local hospital and consult an experienced doctor for a thorough examination to diagnose the cause and then address the issue accordingly. You can take the baby to the hospital for a trace element check, eat more fruits and vegetables, and consume foods high in calcium. Ensure the diet is sufficient and nutritious. I hope this helps, and wish you good health!
