Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Lei
There are many zinc-rich foods, such as animal liver, milk, beef, mutton, oysters, scallops, egg yolk, and foxtail millet. Zinc is a vital trace element for the human body; zinc deficiency may lead to symptoms including fatigue, loss of appetite, and weakened immunity. For individuals with severe zinc deficiency, zinc gluconate oral solution may be prescribed by a physician for treatment.
