Patient's question:
The skin lacks moisture and trace elements such as vitamins A, B, C, E, and zinc. Do you use zinc supplements for chapped hands?Doctor's answer:
Hello, to confirm whether your baby is zinc-deficient, the mother should first take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. Once zinc deficiency is confirmed, the baby can be given zinc supplements. Note that it is not advisable to give the baby zinc oral liquid on an empty stomach.On a daily basis, you can give your baby some foods rich in zinc. Animal foods high in zinc mainly include lean meat, liver, eggs, and oysters. Nuts in plant fruits also contain high levels of zinc, such as peanuts and walnuts. Among fruits, apples have the highest zinc content. Additionally, foods like tofu skin, soybeans, white fungus, and cabbage are also good sources of zinc.
