POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. if your son is perpetually eating mud or other non-food items like dirt, paint chips, plaster, chalk, corn starch, ash, rust, soap, sandpaper, etc; then your child is suffering from an eating disorder called as "Pica". Always consult your doctor if your child is suffering from pica.Eating mud not only puts children at risk of bacterial infection, but it also puts them at risk of developing some serious stomach-related diseaseThe doctor may prescribe mineral, iron, and calcium supplementation and deworm. Your baby may also need behavioural or psychological therapy to overcome PICA and alleviate stress. Ensure that you communicate effectively with your kid and be positive and encouraging to help him overcome this habit.
