Patient's question:
The child doesn't like to eat. This situation with the child has been going on for a while. As parents, we are very worried. We hope the doctor can give some advice.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the common reasons why children dislike eating are as follows:1. There may be a deficiency of trace elements, most commonly zinc. Children with zinc deficiency have reduced digestive function and low appetite.
2. Liver function damage. Children with poor liver function have abnormal bile secretion, reduced digestive function, and low appetite.
3. There may be chronic upper digestive tract diseases, such as chronic superficial gastritis, gastric ulcers, duodenitis, duodenal ulcers, and esophagitis.
4. Weak spleen and stomach function, with food accumulation.
5. There may be picky eating reasons, such as consuming too much milk and eating less staple food like rice. It is essential to correct the child's habit in this way, as it is not good for the child's health.
