Question

What to Do If a 2-Year-Old and 4-Month-Old Child Has Excessive Mercury Levels?

Answer

If a child is diagnosed with excessive mercury levels, immediate measures should be taken to reduce the intake of mercury and increase water consumption to help expel mercury from the body. At the same time, closely monitor for any discomfort symptoms, such as loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, and intestinal disorders. In case of severe symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. Additionally, avoid exposing the child to environments or items containing high concentrations of mercury.
