Doctor's answer:
This habit seems to be rarely seen, but you should pay attention to checking his trace elements and doing a blood test to see if there is anemia or zinc deficiency? If not, then you can explain to the child that at this age, sometimes it's a bad habit, and help him gradually improve it. Pay attention to communicating more with the child and increasing the time he spends alone.
