How to deal with a 7-year-old and 2-month-old baby who doesn't like to eat?

Patient's question:

The baby doesn't like to eat and shows no interest in food. What could be the reason? In the past two days, with a fever and cough, the baby hasn't eaten at all. Previous treatment and effectiveness: None. No matter how much assistance is provided: How to make the baby eat well. How to eat healthily.

Doctor's answer:

Personal consideration suggests that the child's condition may be caused by a lack of trace elements such as zinc or B vitamins in the body. If you are not at ease, you can take the child for a trace element test.
Medical advice: After diagnosis, follow the doctor's guidance for proper digestion. Be mindful that excessive vitamin supplementation is not always beneficial—over-supplementing with zinc, for example, can easily lead to iron deficiency. Pay attention to establishing regular meal times for the child and reduce the intake of snacks.
