Patient's question:
My child is in the senior kindergarten this year, and they've never been fond of eating. So I took them for a check-up, where they tested their trace elements. The lead level was high, so the doctor prescribed a lead-extracting oral liquid. After drinking it, the level dropped a bit, but now it's high again. I really don't know what to do with this back-and-forth.Doctor's answer:
Hello, you can use food with lead, such as kelp, sea cucumber, and nori. Black jujubes, kiwis, etc., dietary fiber also has a function. Do not blindly use drugs, because drugs have great toxic side effects, and during the treatment process, calcium, iron, and zinc may be excreted, and even severe hypocalcemia may occur, leading to convulsions or even death. Therefore, lead excess in children mainly relies on dietary regulation.
