Will babies with zinc deficiency have convulsions?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Could a zinc deficiency in infants cause convulsions?

Doctor's answer:

The nervous system hasn't fully developed yet, and it doesn't necessarily mean zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency in babies usually shows symptoms such as dry, yellow hair, irritability, restlessness, excessive sweating during sleep, hyperactivity, and so on. Your situation might be caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with calcium. Yogurt is also a very good food for calcium supplementation. It not only helps with calcium but also contains beneficial bacteria that can regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for all age groups. You can also make some bone broth to drink regularly.
