Patient's question:
The little baby in my sister's family just turned one year old this year. A few days ago, when I visited him, I noticed that his lips were cracked and bleeding, his mouth was dry, and his tongue was also dry. It was said that he was lacking in B2. I'm very worried about his health. I would like to ask, what are the symptoms of vitamin B2 deficiency in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child's body lacks vitamin B2, under normal circumstances, it may frequently experience mouth ulcers or irritability. If it is necessary to go to the hospital for vitamin testing in a timely manner, it is recommended to give the child additional vitamin B2 and vitamin C. Regularly feeding the child fresh vegetables and fruits can also help, and some supplements can be added. It is always better to take the child to the hospital for examination and supplementation after the check-up.
