Question

What are the causes of children not eating?

Answer

Check for trace elements at the hospital. If the baby is deficient in zinc, their appetite may decrease. If they don’t eat well for a long time, it may affect nutrient absorption. It is recommended to take zinc gluconate and Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid, and avoid eating monosodium glutamate and chicken essence, as these foods may cause zinc deficiency and reduce appetite. Also, be mindful of controlling snacks, as zinc deficiency may also lower immunity.
