Patient's question:
For some reason these past few days, Dad hasn't been interested in eating anything. Mom tried cooking different dishes for him, but it didn't work. Today, we took Dad to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said it's anorexia. I would like to consult on how to treat anorexia.Doctor's answer:
First, let's confirm the cause of his anorexia. Is it triggered by binge eating? Due to overeating, he may feel nauseous and want to vomit when he smells greasy food. In this case, it is recommended that he doesn't necessarily have to eat dinner to have a proper meal. He can have some snacks, pastries, fruits, millet porridge, appropriate noodles, etc. As long as the patient doesn't feel hungry while eating, that's fine.
