Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello! Copper is an essential trace element for the human body. Chinese people have slightly higher copper levels, and your child's copper level is slightly above the normal range. There is no need to be anxious, as it is far from the toxic level of copper and will not harm your child. Copper is present in the natural environment, and some utensils, especially copper ones, such as copper hot pots or small spoons, may be found. Some medicine cabinets may also contain copper. It is best to have your child wash their hands before meals, avoid biting food with their mouths, and not use copper utensils. Additionally, it is advisable to reduce the intake of foods high in copper, such as oysters, scallops, sea snails, shrimp, and crabs.
