How to treat elderly anorexia?

Patient's question:

I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach aches sometimes with symptoms of burning and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it was fine for a while, but then it started again. How is anorexia in the elderly treated?

Doctor's answer:

The physical condition of the elderly is naturally weaker, and if they do not receive adequate nutrition in a timely manner, it can cause significant harm to their health. If the elderly develop anorexia, it is necessary to promptly alleviate their psychological stress and find ways to ease their aversion to eating dinner. Timely nutritional supplementation is required to stabilize malnutrition caused by low body weight. In addition to medication treatment, it is essential to fully restore the elderly's appetite.
