How to deal with a 7-year-old child who doesn't eat?

Patient's question:

Hello. My son is seven years old and has never eaten his dinner well. What should I do?
Previous treatment and effectiveness: I gave him Longgu Zhuanggu Granules, but it had no effect.
What kind of help do you need: Verify what my son should eat.

Doctor's answer:

What are the reasons why babies don't like to eat?
1. Too many snacks
2. Children with digestive system diseases or other chronic illnesses, due to incomplete recovery from the illness or medication, interfere with their appetite.
3. In addition to insufficient sleep, zinc deficiency, picky eating, overeating, and excessive greasiness, other reasons include poor dietary habits. At home, pay attention to nursing and cultivate good eating habits. Regularly and in fixed amounts, have the child defecate, increase snacks between meals, and develop the habit of not lacking meat, not being picky, eating a variety of foods, and eating a balanced diet. During dinner, avoid making the child laugh or talk, and do not eat while watching TV. This will interfere with the movement of the gastrointestinal tract and the secretion of digestive glands, leading to poor digestion. Do not eat dinner while squatting, otherwise it may cause belching, sore throat, abdominal pain, and interfere with defecation.
