Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to carefully check whether there may be a zinc deficiency and whether there may be digestive problems. It is suggested to try taking oral zinc gluconate and Jianpi oral liquid. To ensure the child eats well, it is also important to pay attention to the methods. Some children have picky eating habits, and parents become very anxious. To coax the child to eat dinner, some parents use toys to distract them during meals, while others allow the child to play while eating... Excessive indulgence by parents and a lack of understanding of proper feeding methods are also direct causes of children's picky eating. It is important to provide the child with a relatively quiet environment for defecation, allowing them to have a relaxed and enjoyable bowel movement.
