Patient's question:
Hello, my son is now 11 months old. He often bites the nipple and scratches his ears. What could be the reason? Or is he lacking in any nutrients!Doctor's answer:
The condition of the child is mainly considered to be due to a lack of trace elements. For example, zinc deficiency. It can be caused by insufficient absorption during fetal development in the mother's body or excessive excretion. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as picky eating, poor appetite, irritability, short sleep duration, night sweats, and hyperactivity.
