Answer
Pediatric anorexia is a common symptom in children, characterized by symptoms such as vomiting, reduced appetite, and diarrhea. Treatment for this condition first and foremost should ensure that the child has a reasonable diet habit. In necessary cases, nutritional supplements such as zinc can be considered. For anorexia, traditional Chinese medicine treatment is one option, but it should be used under the guidance of a doctor based on the child’s specific condition. It is recommended that parents consult with a professional doctor before seeking traditional Chinese medicine treatment to achieve the best treatment outcome.
