Patient's question:
My baby is over three years old. In the morning, when it's time to go to bed, he doesn't want to eat anything. If I force him to eat, he starts to vomit. At kindergarten, he mostly eats white rice and refuses vegetables. If I give him vegetables, he vomits. But when he comes home from school, he eats a lot without vomiting. In the past, sometimes he acted this way, and other times he was fine. I took him to see a Chinese medicine doctor twice, and they said there was nothing wrong. The doctor suggested that if he doesn’t want to eat, I shouldn’t force him and let him go hungry for a couple of days—it’s fine. When he’s at home, he eats reasonably well. If he encounters something he likes, he eats a lot. But recently, he’s started vomiting again, and I don’t know why.Previous Treatment and Effects:
I’ve seen a Chinese medicine doctor before, and here’s how they assisted me:
- Help me figure out why my child is vomiting.
- Suggest how I should treat him.
- I’d prefer dietary treatment if possible.
Doctor's answer:
The child is three years old and doesn't want to eat dinner. They often have dry coughing, which suggests poor digestion. It's important to take good care of them. The food should be light and easy to digest. Try eating small meals more frequently. It's better to consume easily digestible foods.Advice: You can take some Jianpi Granules to help with digestion, or use some Mamiaoi probiotics. Also, avoid cold foods. Continue to monitor the situation closely.
The above advice is for the question "Three-year-old child doesn't want to eat dinner and often dry coughs." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
