How should pediatric anorexia be treated?

Patient's question:

My child Zhou Ziyuan is now three and a half years old. Compared to children of the same age, he is developmentally delayed, short in stature, and hyperactive. He sweats a lot even with slight movement (likely due to hyperhidrosis), and has bad breath. He also shows signs of picky eating and poor digestion. Is there a problem with his stomach?

Doctor's answer:

Diet should be regular, meals should be taken at fixed times, and food hygiene should be ensured; life should be regular, with adequate sleep and regular bowel movements; nutrition should be comprehensive, with more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables consumed; snacks and sweets should be limited, and drinks should be consumed in moderation. Improve the eating environment to help children focus on eating and maintain a pleasant mood. Do not blindly take medication; appropriate use of traditional Chinese or Western medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach and promote digestion and absorption can be considered.
