Patient's question:
My child is 1.5 years old and has always had a poor appetite. They don't drink various types of dairy drinks either. Now that breastfeeding has been stopped, they barely eat anything anymore; what should I do?Past treatment history and effectiveness: There was slight anemia.
What kind of help is desired: What should be noted in terms of diet, what to eat, and why the child is like this; is it normal; is it necessary to go to the hospital for further examination?
Doctor's answer:
The condition of the child, from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is mostly due to a weak spleen and stomach, which cannot properly transport and absorb nutrients. It is recommended to take Chinese herbal medicine that strengthens the spleen and stimulates the appetite to regulate the condition. By persisting with this for a period of time, very good results can be achieved. Additionally, the baby's condition is caused by spleen deficiency, so it is advisable to take Baohe Pills. Pay attention to dietary restrictions, avoiding spicy, greasy, and irritating foods. Drinking more millet porridge and appropriately increasing activity levels can also help.
