How to deal with a 1.5-year-old child who refuses to eat and only drinks milk?

Patient's question:

What should I do if a 1.5-year-old child only drinks milk and doesn't eat? Buying calcium and zinc supplements hasn't helped. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been administered. What kind of help do you want: You want him to eat.

Doctor's answer:

The child is 1.5 years old and refuses to eat. Drinking only milk is not sufficient. The child is showing signs of picky eating. You can try making rice into other forms to feed him, such as cakes, porridge, or fried rice. Vary the vegetables, paying attention to color, aroma, taste, and texture, and ensure they are finely, softly, andly shredded for easy digestion. Avoid frying or deep-frying. It's also important to check for trace element deficiencies, such as zinc deficiency, and ensure proper digestion. Additionally, you can give the child some Jianpi Koufuye (stomach-strengthening oral liquid) or infant Jianpi San (stomach-strengthening powder).
