Lovleena MishraMom of 2 children4 years agoA. This condition is known as Pica. You must visit the doctor immediately. Pica can cause dental issues, infections, digestive issues, intoxication etc. Please be patient throughout and be positive and encouraging towards your child for any treatment to be effective. Give your kid a healthy and nutritional diet. Encourage your child to eat healthy snacks and practise restraint when reaching for non food items. Pica can be due to zinc and iron deficiencies. Ask your doctor whether any iron and zinc supplements can be prescribed for your kid.
