Patient's question:
Please ask the doctor:What vitamins are lacking in a 4-year-old child? Should hair or blood be tested in pediatrics?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, what trace element is the baby lacking? It needs to be determined through trace element testing and whether the baby has symptoms of zinc and calcium deficiency, as well as vitamin deficiency, for a comprehensive judgment.If the baby is lacking vitamins, taking Centrum can be supplemented. If the baby has symptoms of calcium deficiency such as bald spots on the head, irritability, night sweats, and restlessness, calcium supplements are needed. If the baby has symptoms of zinc deficiency such as dry, yellow, and dull hair, frequent mouth ulcers, and slow growth and development, zinc supplements are required. If there are no deficiencies, supplementation is not necessary.
