Patient's question:
My child has recently been experiencing a recurrence of anorexia symptoms. Every time I prepare a meal, the child turns away and refuses to eat. I'm very worried that this might lead to malnutrition in the child. I'd like to consult a doctor about what to do regarding the child's anorexia.Doctor's answer:
Now children might be in kindergarten, and they may have emotional issues again at school due to conflicts among children, or they may have emotional issues again after watching some scary movies. It is important to pay attention to communicate with the children, as they are prone to emotional problems that can lead to a decrease in appetite. Of course, it could also be some physical illnesses like colds. A comprehensive evaluation and careful observation are necessary. Additionally, during meals, engaging the children in fun interactions can help reduce their appetite.
