Question
The patient is a two-and-a-half-year-old girl who weighs only 22 kilograms, with very poor eating habits but no other diseases. Are there any methods to improve her dietary condition?
Answer
- Based on your child’s current condition, her physical fitness is within the normal range, so there is no need to be overly concerned.
- The growth and development of a child’s height and weight are related to parental genetics, which is also normal.
- It is recommended to encourage the child to engage in moderate physical activity, which not only strengthens the child’s constitution but also stimulates appetite. This is similar to adults experiencing increased appetite after engaging in heavy physical labor.
