Patient's question:
Baby is 20 months old. Clinical diagnosis: immune disease. Pediatric anorexia. The doctor prescribed several boxes of medicine combined with spinal manipulation therapy. After taking the medicine for three days, there has been no improvement. How long will it take to see an effect?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric anorexia refers to a long-term decrease or loss of appetite, with reduced food intake as the main symptom. It is a chronic digestive functional disorder syndrome and a common and frequently occurring disease in pediatrics. It is most common in children aged 1-6, and the trend has been increasing year by year. Severe cases can lead to malnutrition, anemia, rickets, and low immunity, resulting in recurrent respiratory infections. It also has varying degrees of impact on children's growth and development, nutritional status, and intellectual development.Cultivate good eating habits: Meals should follow the principle of "eating until full but not overfull." Eat at fixed times, with three meals a day and two snacks and fruits in between, which is more appropriate. Avoid fried and other dry, greasy, and cold foods to prevent overburdening the digestive system and affecting appetite.
