Question

A 2-year-old child has lost appetite, is not having bowel movements, and seems listless. How should it be treated?

The child may be experiencing discomfort due to a cold, so it is recommended to measure the body temperature and observe for symptoms such as fever, runny nose, and sneezing. In terms of diet, provide light and easily digestible foods. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to take the child to a doctor. Additionally, during treatment, patients should pay attention to a balanced diet and psychological adjustment to avoid excessive stress that may affect the treatment outcome.
