Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What are the hazards of lead poisoning in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, lead poisoning can cause symptoms such as drowsiness, poor concentration, irritability, and stunted growth. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits can help remove lead. Lead-removing medications should be chosen as calcium disodium edetate preparations. Mosquito coils should not be used. Children's respiratory tracts are not yet fully developed, and they are easily irritated by mosquito coils and smoke, which can lead to coughing, phlegm production, and respiratory infections. You can install mosquito screens or doors and use electric mosquito swatters to eliminate mosquitoes.
