Question
For the past two months, my 1-year-and-8-month-old child has only been willing to eat three or four spoonfuls of rice per meal. Currently, the child is generally in good health and has started kindergarten. What could be the cause of this?
Answer
The incidence of pediatric anorexia has been increasing in recent years, particularly in urban areas, and is more common among only children, with the highest prevalence among children aged 1 to 6. It is important to avoid emotional stress and maintain a regular lifestyle. If anorexia occurs after an illness, it is necessary to visit a hospital for a diagnosis and targeted treatment.
