Patient's question:
My child is five years old. Because of picky eating, his development is slow. I don't know why this is happening. Feeding my son is like giving him medicine. He refuses to eat meat and only likes noodles. In the past two years, his physical check-ups have not met the standards. His weight is too low, his height is too short, and he is malnourished. We are all desperate.Doctor's answer:
Hello, this parent, don't hurry first. For picky eating and slow development, you can appropriately supplement zinc to improve appetite. Also, pay attention to increasing a balanced nutrition, with a mix of coarse and fine grains, and a combination of meat and vegetables, which is beneficial for regulating the body. In daily life, eating more milk, lean meat, shrimp, bone soup, fruits, and vegetables is beneficial for the child's absorption and also promotes healthy growth.
