Patient's question:
My child is five years old and doesn't eat well, has dry stools, red lips, and is not tall—only 106 cm. When he had a fever, we gave him medicine, but after two days, it didn't improve. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Your situation is as follows. First, you need to take your child to a local regular hospital for a thorough check-up on trace elements to see what is lacking. Additionally, your child's constipation issue should be addressed through dietary adjustments. Avoid spicy, garlic, and fried foods, and instead eat more green vegetables and protein-rich foods. Oral medication can also be used. It is recommended to give your child a cup of honey water early in the morning every day—ensure it is genuine, high-quality honey. Before bed, eat a banana. Oral supplements like multivitamins and Xingspi Yangxue Granules can also be taken.
