What are the symptoms of lead poisoning in children?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could you please tell me what the symptoms are of lead poisoning in children?

Doctor's answer:

Children with lead poisoning often exhibit symptoms such as poor appetite, stomach pain, insomnia, learning difficulties, constipation, nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, low IQ, anemia, and hyperactivity. If the child's picky eating is due to zinc deficiency, it is important to supplement zinc for the child, encouraging them to eat more zinc-rich foods. Foods rich in zinc include egg yolks, fish, and seafood. You can also give your child chewable zinc and selenium tablets.
