Patient's question:
My baby is over three years old. In the morning, when it's time to go to bed, he doesn't want to eat anything. If I give him food, he starts to gag. At kindergarten, he mostly eats white rice and doesn't eat vegetables. If I give him vegetables, he starts to gag. But when he comes home from school, he eats a lot and doesn't gag. In the past, sometimes he was like this, and other times he was fine. He saw a Chinese medicine doctor twice, who said there was nothing wrong. The doctor suggested not forcing him to eat if he didn’t want to and that it was okay to let him go hungry for a couple of days. When he’s at home, he eats reasonably well. When he encounters foods he likes, he eats a lot. But recently, he’s started to gag again. I don’t know why?Previous Treatment and Effects:
He has seen a Chinese medicine doctor before. What assistance do you need:
- Help me figure out why he’s gagging.
- What treatment should I give him.
- I’d prefer to use dietary therapy.
