Patient's question:
What are the common causes of a child being underweight? This condition has been going on for some time, and I'm hesitant to give medication. Please provide some advice from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for weight loss. It could be due to insufficient nutritional intake. It could also be due to excessive physical consumption or anemia. It is recommended that children undergo a physical examination at the hospital to identify the cause of the weight loss. After listening to the doctor's advice, some measures should be taken, and it is advised to maintain at least 16 hours of sleep daily. Only when children eat well and sleep properly is sufficient sleep very important for their growth and development. Sleep well, especially at night, so that children can grow tall and strong.
