Patient's question:
The child has not been eating for a long time, so the traditional Chinese medicine hospital prescribed three sets of appetite-stimulating medicine. After taking them (two sets), the child kept having foamy watery stools that smelled a bit, and after two sets of Chinese medicine, they still wouldn't eat. Day after day, they didn't eat, so there was no choice but to force them to eat something?Doctor's answer:
The eyes cannot only focus on the gastrointestinal tract. Malnutrition and other pathological conditions can both affect appetite. Short-term malnutrition does not affect intelligence. If appetite is poor, necessary nutritional supplements can be administered intravenously to correct iron deficiency and malnutrition, and combined with dietary support, it should gradually recover. White rice is not sufficient; adding vegetable soup can be helpful. Fruits and fruit juices can be consumed daily to ensure adequate nutrition. When the child's health recovers, everything will improve.
