Patient's question:
How should a 7-month-old infant be treated if lead poisoning is detected?Doctor's answer:
Lead poisoning is relatively more likely to cause ADHD. Elevated lead levels in the body can lead to mental abnormalities in children, especially ADHD. Therefore, it is important to eat less lead-containing foods (such as popped rice, roasted potato chips, etc.) and avoid contact with lead-containing items. Stay away from places with lead pollution, eat more foods rich in vitamin C, and consume more calcium, iron (such as fish, meat, eggs, blood, liver, black fungus), zinc (meat, seafood), and pectin-containing foods (such as oranges, carrots, apples, bananas, etc.). Develop good living and hygiene habits, such as frequent hand washing, reducing outdoor activities near highways, not swallowing or chewing colorful toys, pencils, and minimizing contact with painted products.
