Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has experienced a series of situations, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will get worse. What are the reasons for high lead levels in the trace element test?Doctor's answer:
Due to many factors, such as: children not washing their hands after using pencils or crayons, putting their hands in their mouths, or having a habit of biting pencils, crayons, or plastic toys, it could also be due to excessive consumption of century eggs or popcorn. Environmental factors, such as whether there are factories nearby or if the drinking water contains lead exceeding the standard, etc. It may be caused by eczema, which requires local use of corticosteroid creams, oral antihistamines, antibiotics, vitamins, and other medications. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and other irritating foods. Avoid contact with any substance that may cause allergies.
