Question
Hello, our baby is two years old and has always been reluctant to eat. The child is very thin and has been vomiting easily during meals recently, with no appetite at all. The pediatrician said it’s due to poor spleen and stomach function. I want to use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment. Is it feasible?
Answer
If a child has poor appetite, doesn’t eat, and shows delayed growth, it may be related to weak spleen and stomach function and deficiency of trace elements. It is recommended to first check for trace elements, supplement zinc and iron reasonably, pay attention to dietary matching, stimulate appetite, and increase activity. Consider traditional Chinese medicine treatment, but it is advisable to consult a doctor after checking at the hospital.
