Patient's question:
The baby is now 14 months old. Since two and a half months ago, they no longer drink formula milk. Since starting solid foods at six months, they haven't eaten much either. They have only been eating a little bit of yellow yolk and occasionally a tiny bit of other foods. Fruits are also not eaten. To this day, they still refuse to chew anything. If they eat something slightly rough, they will feel nauseous and vomit.Doctor's answer:
If supplementary food is not provided properly, it can lead to malnutrition and anemia in children. Anemia, in turn, interferes with a child's sense of taste and appetite, causing them to eat poorly, which further exacerbates malnutrition and anemia. Therefore, it is recommended that you take your child to the pediatric department of a hospital for a check-up to see if they have anemia. It is suggested that you take your child to the pediatric department of a hospital for a complete blood count test, and also have the doctor examine your child to check for malnutrition. You should gradually introduce a variety of supplementary foods to your child.
