What harm does it do if a child occasionally eats paper?

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 harm is there in a child occasionally eating paper?

Doctor's answer:

This is nothing to worry about. My baby also often plays with paper and occasionally eats it. Later, we placed the paper out of reach. Don't be concerned—just pay more attention in the future. It's recommended to eat more zinc-rich foods such as lean meat, liver, eggs, oysters, peanuts, and walnuts. Apples are the richest in zinc among fruits, and there are also tofu, soybeans, white fungus, and cabbage.
