Patient's question:
Doctor, my son has recently become particularly picky about food. When I feed him dinner, he always hesitates to eat, hasn't eaten for a whole day, and keeps saying he's not hungry. I'm very worried he might be starving himself and think he might have anorexia. I want to ask what should I do if the symptoms of pediatric anorexia reappear?Doctor's answer:
Here you can give him a little bit of infant stomach medicine, or adjust through some probiotics to help stabilize and take care of his stomach and intestines. For children who are reluctant to eat dinner, it is generally also due to problems such as a recurrence of a cold or illness. You should carefully observe to see if there are any other symptoms. If it is simply reluctance to eat dinner, engage the child more in fun interactions during meals and use motivational and encouraging methods.
