Patient's question:
My child is eight years old, and he has never eaten vegetables. What can I do? It's not that he doesn't like them; he hasn't eaten vegetables since he started eating. If I force him to eat them, he will get nauseous and vomit. Will this affect his development?Doctor's answer:
The child does not eat vegetables, which can lead to a lack of trace elements in the body. If there is a deficiency in trace elements, such as zinc or iron, it can cause poor appetite. It is necessary to have a trace element test to check if the child is deficient in zinc or iron. If there is a deficiency, it should be supplemented in a timely manner. The child also needs to regulate the spleen and stomach. Daily abdominal massage and back () can be performed for the child. If time permits, systematic acupuncture at the hospital can be considered, which can help speed up the child's recovery.
