Patient's question:
My child is 2 years old and always doesn't like dinner. Occasionally, they might eat a few pieces of meat, but they refuse to eat white rice. It's been like this all the time. Scolding them doesn't help either; they just say they're full and can't eat. Occasionally, they'll have some snacks, like biscuits or candy. Right now, the child isn't sick, but I don't know why they have such a poor appetite.What kind of help is needed: How can I deal with a 2-year-old who always refuses to eat?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to consult a doctor to check for potential zinc deficiency and possible digestive issues. Consider taking oral zinc gluconate and Shan Mai Jian Pi oral liquid to see if they help. Avoid MSG and chicken essence, as they may contribute to zinc deficiency and potentially affect appetite. Additionally, pay attention to limiting snack consumption.This advice is for the question "What should I do if my 2-year-old child never eats?" and I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
