Question
What are the common situations of thinness in children? My child has been experiencing this condition for some time and I’m hesitant to give them medicine. Could you please give me some advice?
Answer
There are many reasons for weight loss. It could be due to insufficient nutrition intake, excessive body expenditure, or anemia. It is recommended that children should undergo a physical examination at a hospital to find out the cause of the weight loss. After listening to the doctor’s advice, some measures should be taken, and it is suggested to maintain at least 16 hours of sleep per day. Only if children eat well, and if they can eat and sleep, will adequate sleep be very important for their growth and development. Getting a good night’s sleep is especially important so that children can grow tall and plump.
