Patient's question:
The child is now 6 years and 5 months old, with a height of 115 cm and a weight of 17 kilograms. Last year at the beginning of the year, their height was 110 cm and their weight was 30 kilograms. Over the past year, there hasn't been much growth in either height or weight. Eating has also been difficult, as they always have little appetite and can't eat much.Doctor's answer:
Last month, there was no significant increase in the child's weight or height, which might be due to the fluctuating weather or the child's poor appetite caused by a diet that doesn't suit their taste. Additionally, besides ensuring the child gets a good night's sleep, daytime naps are equally important. Generally, a one-year-old child should have about two hours of daytime sleep. This will better promote physical development, especially brain and nerve development.Moreover, it is essential to pay attention to a balanced diet with both meat and vegetables, ensuring comprehensive nutrition. If necessary, you can take the child to a local hospital to measure their trace elements and check if they are normal. Based on the results, you can supplement them accordingly.
