A. Hi consult with your pediatrician for regular health checkup of your child and deworming medication.. also check out for any carious milk teeth and maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily

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.
