Patient's question:
Age of onset and symptom description: The child has been sick for 3 days and keeps coughing, but nothing comes out. Treatment history and effectiveness: No effect, the medicine is too bitter, and the child only vomits when taking it. What kind of help is desired: I want to ask what can be given to the child without medication to help him feel better.Doctor's answer:
Hello, picky eating, poor appetite, and hyperactivity in children are often caused by zinc deficiency. Supplementing with zinc is key.Recommendation: It is recommended to obtain zinc from food sources to improve your child's appetite. Include more zinc-rich foods in their diet, such as: animal liver, seafood, nuts, and lean meats. Examples include oysters, lean meat, fish, walnuts, peanuts, and pork liver.
Of course, in many cases, children may develop a deficiency in certain single nutrients due to picky eating, such as zinc (e.g., taking Xinxiobao Zinc-Selenium Treasure), vitamin A, vitamin D, etc. These deficiencies can also help alleviate colds and fever and improve the body's immune function.
