What are the reasons for a child having a white hair?

Patient's question:

Granddaughter was frail and often ill in her childhood. She frequently had to go to the hospital due to high fevers. Whenever she had a high fever that wouldn't subside, she had to be given intravenous fluids. She also took a lot of Chinese and Western medicine, so her body naturally became weak. She would drool while sleeping and often wet the bed. Recently, I noticed she even has white hair. What could be the reason? What kind of assistance is needed: What could be the cause of a child's recurrence of white hair?

Doctor's answer:

It can be caused by a variety of different factors. For example, it could be due to heredity across generations, nutrition, psychological factors, and so on. First, please identify the cause of premature graying, and then address it accordingly. Pay attention to exercising regularly and eating plenty of foods rich in vitamins B1, B2, B6, as well as trace elements like copper and iron. Such as various coarse grains, do not lack meat and avoid picky eating. Rub the scalp with both hands frequently. You can also use a comb to brush your hair daily, which can also achieve the same effect as massaging the scalp. If the white hair is caused by other diseases, actively treat the relevant condition!
