Patient's question:
When the baby was little, his appetite wasn't very good. When we started giving him complementary foods, he wouldn't eat anything. Now, although he's willing to eat, he only takes a little bit each time. With rice, he can only eat two or three mouthfuls. If we try to feed him more, his mouth just won't open. Eating a meal with the whole family has to coax him. If we force him to eat, he will cry.What kind of help is needed: Hello, your baby's appetite is very poor. What should we do?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the baby's condition you described, it is considered to be caused by cold or gastrointestinal dysfunction. If necessary, further detailed examination of trace elements, such as zinc deficiency, may also lead to poor appetite. Suggestions and advice: oral medication such as lactobacillus tablets, digestion tablets, and domperidone oral solution can be used. Rub the baby's abdomen more often, and apply cold compresses to the navel. Ensure the baby gets sufficient deep sleep. Appropriate outdoor activities are beneficial for food absorption and digestion. Eat meals in moderation and avoid the habit of frequently snacking. Don't worry, it will gradually improve. The above is advice for the question "How to deal with poor appetite in children?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
