Patient's question:
My child has been biting their lip since last month, I don't remember which month it was. That day was the 30th in the afternoon, and while playing with the kid, they suddenly sucked their lip in. It's been over a year now, and my lower lip has become distorted. What should I do? The elders say it's a wind symptom, so I listened to them and had someone burn it. I've tried many methods, but nothing has worked. What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your child bites their lips due to bad habits, it may be related to a lack of trace elements, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and have their trace elements tested. If zinc deficiency is suspected, taking gluconate zinc or licorice zinc might be considered. If there is a lack of vitamins, they might take calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin supplements. Pay attention to a balanced and nutritious diet, avoid picky eating, and include meat, eggs, vegetables, and fruits in their meals. Good luck.
