Patient's question:
My child has a problem with poor appetite. When he was one year old, he was mainly fed with formula milk and rarely breastfed. What should I do in this situation? How can I deal with a child who doesn't like to eat? My child is two years old and doesn't eat much, only drinking formula milk. How can I encourage her to eat more?Doctor's answer:
This child is already two years old, and the symptoms of poor appetite in the past two months may be caused by the following reasons. First, it is necessary to consider that the diet is not caused by food accumulation. Secondly, it is necessary to consider the lack of zinc in trace elements. Secondly, iron deficiency anemia cannot be ruled out. The child's condition is recommended to undergo trace element testing, blood routine examination, and combined with clinical examination to identify the cause and treatment.
