Patient's question:
My daughter is already 7 years old this year. When she walks on the road, people think the child is only 5 years old. She is short and thin because she never liked eating since she was young. She only eats a little bit of everything. I want to ask, what should I do if the child doesn't like to eat anymore?Doctor's answer:
In this case, please consider your child's indigestion and poor appetite. You can give your child foods that are beneficial to the stomach and digestion, such as Chinese yam, hawthorn, jujubes, chicken, and beef tripe. You can eat more zinc-rich foods, such as oysters, beef, lamb, animal liver and kidneys, nuts, etc. Do not give your child snacks or soft drinks. It is recommended that you provide your baby with a nutritious and easily digestible diet. Every day, you must ensure that your child exercises properly to help with digestion.
