Patient's question:
Hello, our baby is two years old and has always had difficulty eating. They are very thin and have recently been prone to vomiting while eating, showing no appetite at all. A traditional Chinese medicine practitioner diagnosed them as having poor spleen and stomach health. I would like to use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate their condition. Is that possible?Doctor's answer:
If a child has poor appetite, refuses to eat, and is lagging in development, it is mainly related to a weak spleen and stomach and a lack of trace elements.Suggestions:
1. Currently, trace elements can be checked first. Deficiencies in zinc and iron can lead to poor appetite, picky eating, and other issues. It is necessary to supplement them reasonably.
2. Pay attention to a balanced diet and meal planning. Change the routine to stimulate the child's appetite and increase physical activity. Traditional Chinese medicine methods can be used to regulate the child's condition. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up before following the doctor's advice.
