Patient's question:
Our baby has been struggling with poor appetite and being very thin since they turned two. Recently, they often vomit while eating and show no interest in food at all. A traditional Chinese medicine practitioner diagnosed them with poor spleen and stomach health. I would like to use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate their condition. Is that possible?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a child has poor appetite, refuses to eat, and shows delayed development, it is mainly related to a weak spleen and stomach, as well as a lack of trace elements.1. Currently, you can first check for trace elements. Zinc deficiency, iron deficiency, and other issues can lead to poor appetite, picky eating, and other problems, and may require appropriate supplementation.
2. Pay attention to a balanced diet, change eating habits, stimulate the child's appetite, and increase physical activity. Under the guidance of a doctor, you can also take traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the condition.
