Patient's question:
Child weighs 9 pounds, has very poor digestion, often suffers from indigestion. Currently taking fish oil and calcium supplements, but they are not being absorbed. The anterior fontanel is still very large, and there are concerns that it may not close by 18 months. What can be done? What kind of assistance is needed: Any good suggestions...Doctor's answer:
Take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination to identify the specific issue and then provide targeted treatment. Here’s a suggested nutritious breakfast for reference: one apple, a box of 250ml milk, one scoop of Amway protein powder, and one boiled egg. Blend all these ingredients well, then add 2 calcium and magnesium tablets, 2 vitamin C tablets, 2 vitamin E tablets, and 2 vitamin B tablets. That’s it. This combination is also easier on the digestive system. Alternatively, you can opt for colostrum, such as Soul Sunshine Colostrum. Colostrum contains growth factors and immune factors that not only promote the growth and development of infants and young children but also help stabilize their activity levels. Additionally, colostrum can boost the immune system in children with weakened immunity or frequent illnesses, enhancing their disease resistance. The above suggestions are for the question, "How to address poor digestion and absorption affecting a child's growth and development?" I hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
