Question
My son is 6 years old and always lacks appetite. Every time it’s mealtime, he says he’s not hungry and doesn’t want to eat. He’s getting thinner and thinner. The doctor at the hospital said he has indigestion. I want to know how to treat pediatric indigestion?
Answer
If your child has been experiencing chronic indigestion, it’s advisable to take them to a pediatrician for a check-up. A color Doppler ultrasound of the abdomen can be conducted. Avoid giving your child too much food, avoid overeating, and don’t give them any small snacks. Parents should be patient when caring for their children. If you notice any discomfort in your child, take them to the hospital for a check-up promptly. Don’t give them medication without consulting a doctor. It’s best to take medication under medical guidance.
