Question
My two-year-old is not eating much recently! It’s really worrying, and he has lost a lot of weight.
Answer
Based on your description, your two-year-old may be experiencing picky eating due to a cold, poor Spleen and stomach function, or a zinc deficiency, leading to poor acceptance of food and a significant weight loss. Maintaining an optimistic attitude, I suggest visiting the pediatric department of the hospital for a check-up and conducting a trace element test. Symptomatic treatments such as strengthening the spleen and stomach, digestion, can be used. You can also take probiotics and oral liquids as appropriate, supplement calcium reasonably, and zinc appropriately, which can show significant effects. A combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine is recommended.
