Doctor's answer:

Children who have already started eating complementary foods can enhance zinc-rich foods in their diet. Zinc-rich foods: lean beef, pork, lamb, chicken hearts, fish, oysters, egg yolks, skim milk powder, wheat germ, sesame, walnuts, beans, peanuts, millet, radishes, etc. Oysters have the highest zinc content, followed by seafood like fish and shrimp. Children with severe zinc deficiency, who are younger in age and cannot consume enough zinc-rich foods, should take oral zinc supplements under the guidance of a doctor. Gluconate zinc can be taken orally.
