Patient's question:
5 is that there is a little place on the head without hair. The child has been like this since birth, and it has been the same for a year and a half now.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your description mentions that your 1.5-year-old baby has some areas with no hair and partial. I analyze that this age group is mostly symptomatic of calcium deficiency in children. For a 1.5-year-old child, the digestive system is not yet mature, so oral calcium supplements are not recommended. It is still better to rely on dietary supplements. If the calcium deficiency is not severe, it is advised not to use medication for supplementation.Symptoms of calcium deficiency include difficulty falling asleep, difficulty entering deep sleep, frequent waking, partial, diarrhea, white spots or patches on nails, delayed intellectual development, sparse hair, poor health, and susceptibility to colds.
Suggestions: Personally, considering the child is only 1.5 years old and the digestive system is not yet fully developed, medication for calcium supplementation is still not recommended. Dietary supplements are the best option. You can provide foods rich in calcium, such as fish, shrimp skin, kelp, and pork rib soup, while also eating foods rich in vitamin D, such as pork liver, lamb liver, and beef liver, to promote calcium absorption. In general, children with mild calcium deficiency can improve their symptoms after dietary supplementation. If the symptoms are severe, medication for calcium supplementation may be necessary. Wishing your baby good health.
