Patient's question:
My baby is 16 months old this year. His hair is very sparse, a bit yellow, and a bit soft. The doctor asked, "What should I do about my baby's thin, fine, and soft hair?" In the past, we had a thorough check-up and found a deficiency in calcium and zinc. We supplemented it, but it hasn't stabilized yet.Previous treatment and effectiveness: No matter what help was provided.
Help needed: The doctor, I just want to ask, what kind of food can help improve my child's hair quality?
Doctor's answer:
Baby's sparse and yellow hair may be due to zinc deficiency. Zinc deficiency in babies can also lead to poor appetite and slow growth and development.Advice: For zinc supplementation, it is recommended to take it for 2-3 months and then pause. Eating various nutritious foods for the baby is beneficial for their physical growth and development.
The above advice is for the question "My baby is 16 months old and has very sparse hair." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
