Patient's question:
Medical Description: Hyperactivity, poor memory, frequent knee pain. Past Treatment and Effect: Calcium and zinc supplements were taken, but calcium deficiency remained. After a physical examination, the doctor recommended lead removal. Blood lead level was 126. Desired Help: Is Chuqiqi Oral Liquid effective? If not, what should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello, for the vast majority of children with blood lead levels below 250 micrograms per liter, correcting poor living and hygiene habits can bring their blood lead levels back to the normal range within a short period without the need for any medication or lead-extracting foods. For example: 80% of lead in children's bodies enters through their hands and mouths, so simply strengthening "handwashing" education can prevent lead intake and lead poisoning. Additionally, parents should try to minimize children's time spent in areas with severe air pollution, such as roadsides, bus stations, and gas stations. While avoiding lead sources as much as possible, it's also important to help children develop good hygiene habits—wash hands frequently after using pencils, crayons, paint, or playing with toys. Parents who work in lead-containing environments should avoid contact with their children before changing into clean work clothes or showering. In terms of diet, children should drink more milk and consume less lead-rich foods, such as century eggs and puffed snacks. They should also be supplemented with sufficient calcium, iron, and zinc, and eat more high-fiber and iodine-rich foods, all of which are beneficial for preventing the body from absorbing lead.
