A. Hello, your baby girl is 42 months old and she is having a habit of Pica so give her deworming medicine and then iron medicine and calcium vitamin d3 supplements as well

A. Put a favorite food on your child's plate. Reward your child for eating from the plate and not putting the non-food items in his/her mouth. Talk to your child's doctor or nurse about having his/her iron and zinc status tested. Low levels of these nutrients can contribute to pica.
