Patient's question:
These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Regarding the baby not eating complementary foods, how should I treat it?Doctor's answer:
It could be due to zinc deficiency, poor digestion, and snacking. It's also important to check if there are any issues with liver function. I suggest taking oral gluconate of zinc and avoiding MSG and chicken essence, as they can easily lead to zinc deficiency and cause low appetite. Additionally, you can try oral Shanzhai Jianpi Koufuye or Siwei Pishu Keli. It's also important to monitor liver function. Pay attention to controlling snacking. Excessive snacking can also affect appetite and normal eating patterns. Generally, yogurt available in the market can be consumed, but it's best to minimize intake as much as possible. Also, do not exceed 2-3 times per week, and do not consume more than 2 bottles each time. Many are formulated yogurt containing many not-so-good additives, such as acesulfame potassium, which can affect normal eating and cause other issues. Additionally, fermented yogurt is a bit better.
