How to supplement zinc deficiency in four-year-old baby

We all know that human health is actually related to many nutrients. If there are not enough nutrients, we are likely to suffer from some diseases. How can the body stay healthy? Therefore, no matter when, you should supplement your body with a large amount of nutrients through the correct channels to ensure the balance of elements in the body. So, how long should a 4-year-old baby be supplemented with zinc?

How long to supplement zinc depends on the zinc deficiency of your child. If the zinc deficiency is not very serious, then dietary supplements can be used. Eat more things containing zinc, such as animal liver, peanuts or sesame seeds. These all have certain effects. If zinc deficiency is really serious and you want to replenish zinc quickly, you can take appropriate medication to supplement it.

What are the symptoms of zinc deficiency in children?

1. Decreased appetite. If your baby used to eat a lot during meals, but has recently become picky and anorexic, and his or her appetite has decreased significantly, and he or she no longer wants snacks, and the baby is not sick or has a fever, then he or she may be zinc deficient.

2. Slow growth. If your baby is 3-6 cm shorter than other babies of the same age and weighs 2-3 kg lighter than other babies, zinc deficiency may also cause the child's slow physical development.

3. Low resistance. Babies who are zinc deficient generally have poor resistance and often catch colds and fevers, or get sick as soon as they stop taking medicine. They also often sweat and cannot sleep well at night.

If a child lacks calcium, zinc, etc. in life, he needs to supplement them in time, because calcium and zinc are essential. Moreover, if calcium is not supplemented in time, other conditions will occur in children. A 4-year-old baby can already eat a lot of food. Eating more foods high in calcium can effectively supplement calcium. I hope all the above content will be helpful to you.
