Patient's question:
My baby just turned one year old, but he has never been very fond of eating and only drinks 170 milliliters of milk. I consulted a doctor, who said it's related to the spleen and stomach, so they prescribed some spleen-strengthening medicine. However, after taking it, there hasn't been any improvement at all. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon of a one-year-old child not eating well is generally a sign of a weak spleen and stomach in the child. It is important to pay attention to nursing care, and the diet should be diversified. It is recommended to give the child probiotics to treat the condition. It is also necessary to check for deficiencies in trace elements, particularly zinc, and to give the child zinc gluconate oral solution for treatment. At the same time, it is important to eat more fruits, vegetables, and digestive vitamins, avoid meat deficiency and picky eating, and reduce snacking. Abdominal massage can be frequently applied to the child to enhance absorption and stabilize gastrointestinal function.
