POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due in 1 month3 months agoA. If your son is eating sand frequently, it could be a sign of pica, a condition where children crave and eat non-food items, often linked to nutritional deficiencies like iron or zinc. It’s important to consult a pediatrician to check for any underlying deficiencies or health issues. Also, a consistently fast heartbeat can be concerning and needs medical evaluation to rule out causes such as anxiety, anemia, or heart problems. Please take your son to a healthcare provider soon for a thorough check-up to address both the sand-eating behavior and the rapid heartbeat, ensuring his overall health and safety.
