Patient's question:
The child was five years old when they accidentally ingested an excessive amount of medication, which led to severe dry vomiting. The vomit consisted of clear liquid and foamy substances, and the child vomited throughout the night. The child experienced pain from the vomiting, and it was remembered that the vomit even came out of their nose. Since then, the child has had poor appetite, weight loss, and a pale complexion. Every time they were examined, it was said that the child had poor digestion and slow growth and development. For a period of time, the child had no appetite, frequent flatulence, and constant yawning, easily feeling fatigued. Now, at eight years old, the child is a major concern for the adults. The child's skin is yellow and dull. What should be done with the experts?Previous treatment and outcomes: The child often took digestive and appetite-stimulating medications, but they were not very effective. What kind of assistance is needed: Is it possible that the child's severe vomiting has damaged their stomach? What kind of medication should they take?
Doctor's answer:
The child is pale and thin, which may be related to poor digestion and eating dinner. The child has been eating small amounts of dinner for a long time, with unbalanced nutrition, making it easy to suffer from malnutrition, lack of various vitamins and trace elements, and weakened immunity. First and foremost, parents should set an example and not lack meat. Additionally, the variety and taste of food should be diverse. For example, if the child doesn't like rice or steamed buns, they can eat noodles and try different ways to prepare them.
