What to do if your child has rotten feet

Children need a lot of care as they grow up, so what should we do if their feet are rotten? First of all, you need to calm the child's emotions. The child is still young and will definitely cry, so try to divert the child's attention. Crying and bad mood are not a good growth environment for children. Next, we will introduce several solutions that can allow your child to be treated in a non-drug way.

It could be a vitamin deficiency.

Zinc is one of the essential trace elements for human physiology. The body contains 2-2.5 grams of zinc. Zinc in the human body is mainly found in muscles, bones, and skin (including hair).

Zinc can affect taste and appetite through the zinc-containing proteins in which it participates, thereby promoting appetite. Zinc can participate in the mobilization of vitamin A in the liver, maintain the constancy of plasma vitamin A concentration, and plays an important role in maintaining normal dark adaptation ability. Zinc is also necessary for skin health. In addition, zinc can promote wound healing and enhance the body's resistance.

Among foods, oysters and herring have the highest zinc content, with more than 100 mg per kilogram of food, followed by meat, liver, eggs, crab, peanuts, walnuts, tea, almonds, and cocoa, with content of 20-50 mg; wheat, fish, carrots, and potatoes contain 6-20 mg. In addition, the zinc content in animal foods is higher than that in plant foods, and the amino acids produced by the decomposition of animal protein can promote the absorption of zinc. The zinc absorption rate is about 50%. The phytic acid and cellulose contained in plant foods can combine with zinc to form water-insoluble compounds, thereby hindering the human body's absorption of zinc, and the absorption rate is only about 20%. The absorption of zinc is largely dependent on the presence of iron, calcium and phosphorus. To prevent zinc deficiency, children should be encouraged to eat more animal foods such as lean meat, pork liver, fish and egg yolks, develop good eating habits, and not be partial or picky eaters. The content in rice, corn, white flour, vegetables and fruits is low, less than 5 mg. Pay attention to zinc supplementation when eating these foods.

The most important thing for children is a balanced nutrition so that they will not get sick. Supplementing more calcium will make children grow taller and faster, so mothers don’t have to worry about their children getting sick. Healthy and strong babies will be smarter. I hope your baby recovers soon.
