What is the reason why a three-year-old child does not chew when eating?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please tell me why a three-year-old child isn't chewing their food?

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be caused by a lack of calcium. It is recommended to supplement with calcium. Yogurt is also a very good food for calcium supplementation. It not only helps with calcium but also the beneficial bacteria in it can regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for all age groups.
For children with congenital cirrhosis of the liver, a reasonable diet and nutrition are beneficial for restoring liver cell function and stabilizing the condition. A high-quality, high-protein diet can reduce protein breakdown in the body, promote the synthesis of liver proteins, and maintain protein metabolic balance. If liver function is significantly reduced or there are signs of hepatic encephalopathy, protein intake should be strictly limited.
An adequate supply of carbohydrates not only protects the liver but also enhances the body's resistance and reduces protein breakdown. With liver dysfunction and impaired fat metabolism, a low-fat diet is required, otherwise, it is easy to develop fatty liver.
