Patient's question:
The child doesn't like to eat milk and has lost a lot of weight. If the child's weight is increasing normally, there is no need to worry. Additionally, observe the frequency and consistency of the child's bowel movements. If the frequency of bowel movements decreases significantly, it indicates that the child is eating less, which may suggest poor digestion. In this case, probiotics can be consumed to regulate the digestive system.Doctor's answer:
Children may suffer from anorexia, which can be caused by two conditions: one is a weak spleen and stomach, and the other is a deficiency of zinc and calcium, which can also lead to reduced appetite. It is best to have your child tested for trace elements at the hospital to confirm the diagnosis and then provide symptomatic treatment.Recommendations:
1. You can add some freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit juice to your child's diet to adjust their taste preferences.
2. If the anorexia is caused by a weak spleen and stomach, you can give your child Shenling Bai Zhu Powder and Jianwei Xiaoshi Oral Liquid.
3. If the anorexia is due to a deficiency of zinc or calcium, you can appropriately supplement with Gancao Zinc, Longmu Zhuanggu Chongji, etc. However, it is recommended to continue supplementation for at least one month.
