Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to carefully check for the possibility of zinc deficiency and digestive problems. It is suggested to take oral zinc gluconate and Jianpi oral liquid for a try. To make the child eat well, it is also necessary to pay attention to the method. Some children have picky eating habits, and parents become very anxious. To coax the child to eat dinner, some parents use toys to distract the child during meals, while others let the child eat while playing. Excessive indulgence by parents and a lack of understanding of proper feeding methods are also direct causes of children's picky eating.
