Patient's question:
Holding anything in his hands, he would put it in his mouth. Recently, he doesn't know why he doesn't put found objects in his mouth anymore. If he sees paper, he rushes to put it in his mouth. He doesn't know what the reason is. Previous treatment and effectiveness: He has been examined at the hospital, and his trace elements are normal. What kind of help is needed: Hello, what's going on? Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
Health advisor clarifies: Why does the baby love eating paper? Generally, children who exhibit this behavior are often due to zinc deficiency. You have checked and found no deficiency, but since we tested the zinc in the serum, it does not necessarily represent the body's zinc status.Recommendation: I believe that in your case, you can try supplementing with zinc and observe how it resolves the baby's paper-eating behavior. At the same time, it is also important to minimize giving the baby paper, as this may help improve the situation. Additionally, teaching methods can be used to correct the baby's habit of eating paper. A comprehensive approach may yield better results.
