Question

Two-year-old little treasure isn’t eating much recently! Anxious as can be!

Answer

Hello, from the situation you described, it appears that your two-year-old may be experiencing picky eating, loss of appetite, and not eating much recently due to a cold affecting the spleen and stomach function or a zinc deficiency. This has led to a significant weight loss. Maintain an optimistic attitude and I suggest taking your child to the pediatric department of the hospital for a check-up. A trace element test can be conducted, and symptomatic treatment such as strengthening the spleen and stomach, aiding digestion, can be adopted. Consider taking probiotics, Jiangzhong Gaopai Xiaoshi Tablets, Huji Oral Liquid, and other medications. Proper calcium and zinc supplementation should be considered, with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine treatment showing good results.
