Patient's question:
[Have been drinking formula milk for 3 years now, but now I drink very little. I eat very little, only drinking some rice porridge. Since I was a child, I haven't eaten any meat, vegetables, or eggs, and I almost don't like them. If I eat them, I vomit. Occasionally, I can eat some egg white. Past treatment and effectiveness: I have used oral liquids and digestive tablets. What kind of help do I want: Is it medication or am I doing something wrong? I feel like a failure as a mother. I can't seem to realize it myself.]Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your child is experiencing this, it's important to be cautious as it may be related to zinc deficiency. It's necessary to have your child undergo a trace element check. For treatment, it's recommended to use Sanjing Brand Gluconate Zinc Oral Solution. If your child shows symptoms of poor appetite and picky eating, pay attention to whether it's related to zinc deficiency, abnormal digestive function, or long-term consumption of foods high in dyes and flavorings, which can lead to an elevated taste threshold. Take action, as this could lead to severe malnutrition if left unchecked.
