Why do children eat soil, and why do some people like to eat soil when they are young?

This disease is called pica, and there are physical and psychological problems, so you have to see a doctor for childhood pica.

During the day, children often eat some unedible items, which is called pica. Children with pica tend to eat sand, dirt, pieces of paper, cigarette butts, cinders, and even certain bugs. The reasons for this are: first, due to the hypoplasia of the nervous system in children——— especially in patients with cerebral and autonomic neurohypoplasia; second, some children suffer from intestinal parasitic diseases; Third, some children suffer from anemia——— especially iron deficiency anemia; Fourth, some children lack trace element zinc in their bodies.

Another reason is that some studies have found that the satisfaction of some children's food needs is not measured by whether they are full, but by whether their mouth needs are satisfied———.

The main danger of pica is not the disease itself, but the numerous complications caused by the various foreign bodies swallowed by children.

Because pica in children is a bad habit, in addition to the above specific **, it is also mixed with some psychological factors, so it is not so easy. This requires us to be persistent in our treatment. **For young children, the first thing to do is to control their surroundings, such as not placing chalk, paint or other small toys that are easy to swallow.

For older children, cognitive education can be used, i.e., using a variety of methods to teach children what is edible and what is not to be eaten. In addition, for older children, positive reinforcement can also be used for education, that is, when the child shows some good specific behaviors, a certain reward is given to encourage them, so that they can gradually give up the habit of eating againxia. Drugs for pica** should be directed primarily at **.

If it is a nervous system problem, you can use some drugs that strengthen the brain and regulate the autonomic nervous system, such as gamma oryzanol, vitamin B1, vitamin B6, and other brain strengthening drugs. If it is anemia, oral blood tonics should be given, and nutrients such as pork liver and lean meat should be added to the daily diet. If it is a zinc deficiency, it is advisable to take drugs such as zinc sulfate.

For children whose needs for movement are not met due to the above-mentioned mouths, it is necessary to give appropriate snacks.

Go to the hospital to check, either there are roundworms in the stomach or there is a lack of trace elements, go and check, this habit is not good.

Kindness. It may be a deficiency of trace elements, go to the hospital for a blood sample test.

Hello. There are two possibilities for liking to eat soil:1

In the past, people thought that pica was mainly caused by a lack of trace elements such as zinc and iron in the body. At present, more and more doctors believe that pica is mainly caused by psychological factors. However, there has been no substantial progress on its true causes and methods.

2.Caused by parasites in the body. For example, roundworms suggest:

First of all, it is recommended to check whether trace elements are deficient and whether they are parasitic infections. In particular, there is a possibility of iron and zinc deficiency, and of course, parasitic infections may also lead to the possibility of iron and zinc deficiency. Targeted** is the only way to do it.

If it is a parasitic infection, it should be dewormed first**. In addition, it is recommended to eat more lean meat and pork liver, egg yolk, milk, fish and shrimp, shellfish, soybeans, tofu and blood to supplement iron and protein and eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamin C to promote iron absorption.

Life care: Usually pay attention to prevent picky eating. Don't eat monosodium glutamate and chicken essence, which can easily lead to zinc deficiency.

If you lack a trace element, you will have pica.

Babies who eat soil is a kind of pica, babies with pica like to eat dirt, sand, cigarette butts, pieces of paper, cinders, and even eat some small insects, etc., which is more common in the brain and autonomic nerves.

Underdeveloped babies. Some babies suffer from intestinal parasitic diseases and iron deficiency anemia.

Zinc deficiency in the body can also lead to pica in babies. Pica is a bad habit in babies, because the baby's need for food is not based on eating enough, but on whether the movement of the mouth is satisfied, so some family conditions are relatively poor, especially in rural areas, it is easy to have pica such as eating dirt.

The baby's pica is already very harmful to the baby, and the complications caused by the baby's swallowing of various foreign bodies.

The damage to the baby will be even greater. Therefore, parents should not put foreign objects that are easy for babies to swallow around their young babies. For older babies, parents can use various methods to tell babies what is edible and what is not edible.

For babies whose needs for mouth movement are not met, parents can give their babies some snacks appropriately. When the baby has good specific behaviors, parents should give the baby a certain reward to encourage the baby, so that the baby can gradually give up the vice of pica.

I accidentally saw this problem today, in fact, I ate it when I was a child, I often eat dirt, pieces of paper, and I like to smell damp.

I don't think it's harmful to my body, but I think I'm very resistant and I'm very smart. Don't worry, he won't eat it when he grows up!!

Take BB to the hospital for a laboratory test of trace elements, and make up for what is missing.

Should you BB zinc deficiency.

Eating soil, it is recommended that you give your child worms, there may be worms.
