Patient's question:
Daughter has had a severe picky eating habit since childhood, often preferring meat and refusing to eat vegetables. Recently, she told me her eyes feel dry and itchy. The doctor checked and said there are signs of myopia in the child. What are the dangers of picky eating in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, poor appetite in children can lead to zinc deficiency, resulting in weakened immune function, sparse and yellow hair. They are prone to colds and various infectious diseases, including diarrhea and colds. Zinc supplementation is best achieved through dietary means. It is recommended to seek medical treatment at a hospital. Wishing the child a speedy recovery.
