What to Do If a Child Is Weak and Not Growing Well?

Question

My 2-year-old child is weak and not growing well. What treatment should be effective?

Answer

We should pay more attention to the observation of children’s development and consider visiting a pediatric specialty hospital for check-ups and early treatment. The mother had a history of threatened miscarriage during pregnancy. The mother had pregnancy-induced hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. The child had intrauterine infection or infection signs shortly after birth. Difficult labor, asphyxia, or cerebral ischemia or intraventricular hemorrhage. Low birth weight, preterm birth, or multiple pregnancies. Jaundice after birth persisted for more than 2 weeks. Children with congenital malformations. Children have a strong plasticity. For some children with developmental delays, if they are discovered early and treated actively, many children can catch up with the normal developmental level of other children.
