Patient's question:
Doctor: My child is 4 years old this year. The blood lead test result is 71.78. I have noticed that he is a bit hyperactive and sometimes likes to bite his nails. Should I give him lead removal medication? I heard that while removing lead, it also promotes the absorption of lead. Is that correct?Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the return characters kept as they are:"This is what the instructions say: if there is a National Drug Administration approval number, it is a medicine. If not, it is a health product. In terms of diet, you can let the child eat more foods rich in calcium, iron, and zinc, as these are beneficial for lead excretion. Excessive lead can harm a child's intellectual development and sensory functions, so medication to remove lead should not be taken blindly. First, pay attention to the child's hands and wash them frequently. Lead can enter the body, but once it has entered, it can be automatically excreted without medication."
