What should I do if my child doesn't like to eat and has dry stools?

Patient's question:

The child doesn't like to eat, the stool is dry at the beginning but normal afterward, sometimes it comes out one by one. The throat and tonsils often get inflamed, followed by fever, and the child gets irritable. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the baby's appetite is not good, and their constitution is weak, making them prone to getting sick. It is important to consider whether the baby has low immunity. Pay attention to whether the baby's weight and height are within the normal range.
Suggestions: It is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for tests including trace element analysis, immunoglobulin determination, liver function tests, and blood routine tests to determine if the low immunity is caused by a deficiency in certain trace elements or if there are other underlying conditions. If it is only due to low immunity, oral traditional Chinese medicine can be used to regulate it.
