Question
How to treat high lead levels in children? My daughter is 4 years old and has a blood lead level of 83 micrograms per liter. What should be the treatment approach? Her blood lead level was also 83 micrograms per liter in the check-up done in July. Should treatment be with medication or dietary supplements? How about the Lide Xipian Lead Drug?
Answer
According to the Chinese National Lead Diagnostic Standards, a blood lead level below 100 micrograms per liter is considered normal and does not require the use of chelating drugs. It is recommended to reduce the intake of lead-containing foods and ensure the safety of toys and utensils.
