How to treat a 11-year-old child who eats little in the morning

Patient's question:

11-year-old boy. He eats less for dinner in the morning and sometimes doesn't eat at all. He likes reading and loves practicing. He has little activity. Recently, he has had problems with retelling stories and cannot retell them, and occasionally forgets things. Seeking advice.

Doctor's answer:

Dear Inquirer,
According to the situation of your purchase, your child's poor appetite has led to malnutrition, neurasthenia, and other issues. You should encourage your child to be more active and, if necessary, take them to a regular hospital for tests to check the levels of calcium, iron, zinc, and other ions. To see if your child's poor appetite is due to a lack of zinc or other ions, you can give them appropriate amounts of zinc gluconate oral solution and other supplements.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
