If you suspect pica syndrome in your child, it is strongly recommended to consult a pediatrician. Your doctor will conduct the necessary examinations to confirm the diagnosis of pica syndrome and assess any potential secondary complications. Laboratory tests can help identify both the underlying cause of pica and any complications that may have developed. For this purpose, your doctor may request various tests, particularly blood iron and zinc levels. Additionally, if conditions such as intestinal obstruction or perforation are suspected, ultrasound, X-ray, or more advanced imaging techniques may be utilized.
