What to do if your five-year-old baby is zinc deficient

The healthy physical development of children is what we as parents care about most. If the child's body has some adverse changes and reactions during the development process, then the child's body will not be able to bear it, and will feel particularly hurt. Parents will be more worried about their children's physical development. So what should we do if a five-year-old baby is zinc deficient? I hope everyone can understand.

1. Anemia refers to a decrease in the total amount of red blood cells in the body's circulating blood to below normal values. However, since the technology for measuring the total amount of red blood cells in the body's circulating blood is relatively complicated, it is generally clinically referred to as the concentration of hemoglobin in peripheral blood that is lower than the normal standard for patients of the same age group, gender and region. Many women suffer from anemia due to blood loss during the menstrual period and their weak constitution. It is best to do a routine blood test to check the hemoglobin value, red blood cell value, and hematocrit. If necessary, a bone marrow examination should be performed, and several indicators can be combined to determine the type of anemia.

Suggestions: If there is severe anemia with bleeding, most adults have iron deficiency anemia, which is due to iron deficiency in the body. Iron is the main raw material for synthesizing hemoglobin. Timely supplementation can correct the anemia. It is recommended to use the Zhiyuan brand Xuekang combination, which is effective in treating anemia. Improve symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, headache, pale complexion, etc. caused by anemia; promote the formation and regeneration of red blood cells to prevent anemia; eat more foods high in iron such as pig blood, pig liver, and black foods such as black sesame, black beans, black fungus, etc.

2. That depends on the type of anemia. You can first do a routine blood test. If the hemoglobin level is decreased and the average red blood cell volume is reduced, then it is likely to be iron deficiency anemia, and you should supplement with iron. If the average red blood cell volume is increased, then it is likely to be megaloblastic anemia, and you should supplement with folic acid and vitamin B12.

When a child is zinc deficient, he/she should be fed more nutritious food to replenish energy at all times. He/she should also be fed more food with new elements to help him/her develop the habit of not being picky or partial in eating. Some bad living habits of children must also be improved to avoid letting them stay up late for a long time, going to bed on time, and eating in the morning.
