Patient's question:
In the past two months, a 1-year-8-month-old child is only willing to eat three or two mouthfuls of food per meal. The onset and duration of this illness: two months. Current general condition: doing well, has started kindergarten.Doctor's answer:
Anorexia has been increasing in recent years, particularly in urban areas, with higher incidence rates among only children, especially children aged 1 to 6. It refers to a common condition in children where they show a prolonged lack of appetite, reduced food intake, and even refusal to eat, without any external or internal illnesses. Avoiding mental stress, maintaining a regular lifestyle, and having a consistent daily routine are recommended. If anorexia occurs after an illness, it is necessary to seek medical attention to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment.
