What to Do If a Child Bites Their Lower Lip for Over a Year?

Question

The child has been biting their lower lip for over a year, and the lower lip has become deformed. What should I do?

Answer

Hello, if a child constantly bites their lips, it may be due to bad habits and could be related to a deficiency in trace elements. It’s suggested to go to the hospital for a trace element test. If zinc deficiency is suspected, you can take some zinc gluconate or licorice zinc. It’s also possible that there’s a vitamin deficiency, so you can consume some calcium iron zinc Western vitamins. Pay attention to a balanced diet with adequate nutrition; avoid fad diets and eat more meat, eggs, vegetables, and fruits. Good luck!
