Patient's question:
Medical Description: Cadmium 0.05 Lead 63.96 Copper 10.86 Zinc 75.49 Iron 48.46 Calcium 1.44 Magnesium 0.93! The doctor said lead is high! What should I do! Previous Treatment and Effect: It was normal before. What kind of help do I need: Should I take any medication?Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to identify the sources of lead in the body and avoid them as soon as possible. Secondly, it is necessary to develop good living and hygiene habits, such as frequent hand washing, reducing outdoor activities near highways, not swallowing or chewing colorful toys or pencils, and minimizing contact with painted products. Most importantly, it is essential to quickly choose health foods that promote lead excretion, and reducing blood lead levels to below 60 μg/L is even safer. Additionally, attention should be paid to dietary combinations, drinking more milk and less beverages; consuming more fish, shrimp, lean meat, soy products, eggs, and shellfish, while eating less century eggs, fried, and puffed foods; and eating more vegetables and fruits, such as kelp, onions, garlic, carrots, tomatoes, kiwifruit, and sea buckthorn. Although children may achieve the goal of lead excretion by taking lead-excreting products in the short term, if preventive measures and environmental interventions are not taken, children remain in an environment with lead exposure, continuously absorbing lead toxicity, which will naturally lead to an increase in lead levels. Therefore, while undergoing lead excretion, it is crucial to prioritize prevention.
