Question
A 3-year-old girl had hand, foot, and mouth disease last month and has not been eating her evening meal properly since then. She doesn’t eat any vegetables and doesn’t drink milk. Recently, it was discovered that her right leg is limping when she walks. I don’t know what’s wrong with her—whether it’s due to a lack of vitamins or trace elements.
Answer
Children with meat aversion, picky eating, and anorexia must be corrected early. Otherwise, if this continues day after day, the child’s daily intake of essential nutrients will be insufficient, which can have a very negative impact on their intellectual growth and development. It’s important to have a balanced diet and not to give the child snacks or cold drinks or drinks. Eating too many snacks will naturally make the child dislike eating meals. Establish the habit of eating dinner on time every day, eat more seasonal vegetables and fruits, drink more water, consume fish and shrimp as quality protein appropriately, and increase outdoor activity time to promote bowel movement and appetite, aiding digestion.
