Patient's question:
The baby is now 15 months old. Recently, for the past six months, he hasn't been eating well. He hardly eats any (solid foods), only drinking some milk and water. Sometimes he eats a little biscuit, but doesn't eat like rice, egg noodles, or other soups.Doctor's answer:
Suggestions: It is recommended to take the child to a regular hospital's pediatric department or gastroenterology department for a comprehensive and detailed examination to rule out chronic diseases that may cause anorexia and eliminate iron and zinc deficiencies. For anorexia caused by primary diseases, the primary disease should be actively treated. Do not take medicine blindly; appropriate medication can be taken to promote digestion and absorption. Meals should be scheduled, and regular meals should be eaten to ensure food hygiene. Maintain a regular lifestyle, get enough sleep, and have regular bowel movements. Nutritional intake should be balanced, with more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Control snacks and sweets, and drink less.
