Patient's question:
It's been a week and a half, and she doesn't like to eat (though she can still eat a little) and only drinks milk and small snacks like bread. She went to the hospital to check for zinc and calcium deficiencies and is currently taking supplements (she's been on them for 10 days). The past two days, she hasn't seen any improvement; instead, she's stopped eating altogether, looks at food with worry, and cries. I noticed white spots on her fingernails—could it be that she has bugs?Doctor's answer:
Zinc deficiency. You can go to the hospital to check for trace elements and supplement zinc through medication or dietary therapy. Medication supplementation mainly includes gluconate zinc, which is available at pharmacies and is very convenient; dietary supplementation mainly includes steamed pumpkin, pumpkin porridge, nutritious bean porridge, etc. You can search on Baidu, as there are many ways.
