Can children with poor appetite take medicine for treatment?

Patient's question:

My child has noticed recently that he doesn't like to eat, showing no interest in any food, and it's very difficult for him to eat. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said he had developed pediatric anorexia and prescribed some regulating medication.

Doctor's answer:

Hello friend, do not blindly take medicine for anorexia or excessively use health supplements; you can appropriately take Chinese or Western medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach and promote digestive absorption function, but note: first, see a pediatrician or a gastroenterologist, do not believe the sweet words of quacks or charlatans; second, do not overly rely on medication, as a child's gastrointestinal digestive function has great potential. If you strictly follow the above suggestions, most children's anorexia can be cured without medication.
