Question
What’s going on? My daughter hasn’t gained weight since she was six months old.
Answer
Since she was six months old, my daughter has not gained any weight and is now one year old. After adding solid food to her diet, she has a poor appetite, her tongue coating is a bit thick, and she doesn’t like to eat. It could be that the child never developed good eating habits, leading to weak digestion due to spleen and stomach deficiency, or a lack of trace elements such as zinc. With poor eating, it can lead to inadequate weight gain and malnutrition in the long run. One can initially take some spleen and stomach strengthening and appetite-enhancing medications, such as the Gastric Digestive Oral Solution, and then supplement with Lysine Zinc Granules to improve appetite. Additionally, it is necessary to undergo blood routine and trace element tests to rule out anemia or other deficiencies in trace elements. Further supplementation will be corrected based on the test results.
