Children's sun protection medicine

During the growth of their children, many mothers are worried that their children may suffer from trace element deficiency. Therefore, many mothers will take their children to do some trace element deficiency tests. When it is detected that the children are deficient in trace elements, they will give the children some supplementary medicines. This approach is incorrect. When children are deficient in trace elements, food supplements should be the mainstay, supplemented by medicine.

What are the medicines for children's sun protection?

First of all, it is not recommended to take medicine. As we all know, medicine is toxic to some extent. Taking it for a long time will irritate your stomach and intestines. The main method is to supplement with food, supplemented with medicine.

Food supplements

Children who are deficient in selenium are usually supplemented with food, because the safe limit of selenium in medicines is relatively low, and blind supplementation may have toxic effects.

Generally speaking, the selenium content in animal foods is better than that in plant foods, especially seafood and animal offal, which are a good way to supplement selenium (if you do not have problems such as "three highs"). Such as pig kidneys, fish, shrimps, prawns, jellyfish skin, donkey meat, mutton, duck egg yolks, quail eggs, egg yolks, beef, etc.

Plant-based foods, such as cauliflower, broccoli, garlic, onion, lily, etc., can be consciously eaten more often, which is good for your baby's selenium supplementation. Others include pine mushrooms (dried), red mushrooms, fennel, sesame, almonds, wolfberries, peanuts, day lily, cowpeas, etc.

Children who are deficient in selenium should consume more nuts in their diet. In addition, eating more fruits, vegetables and other foods rich in vitamins A, C and E can also help the absorption of selenium. Foods rich in selenium are also rich in vitamin E, and these two nutrients interact with each other.
