Doctor's answer:
The child is 11 years old and 1.28 meters tall, which is still within the normal range. The child's underweight condition is greatly related to his lack of appetite for dinner. The child's lack of meat is largely due to the parents' indulgence, as no single food can contain all nutrients. Therefore, the child lacks meat, has picky eating habits, and has an unbalanced diet, which makes it easy to suffer from malnutrition, various vitamin and trace element deficiencies, and weakened immunity. First, parents should set an example by not lacking meat. Second, the variety and taste of food should be diversified. If the child doesn't like rice or steamed buns, they can eat noodles.
