Question
The 6-year-old child always has difficulty eating dinner, managing to eat only half a bowl of rice each time. Eating even one more bite causes nausea and dry heaves, resulting in very little dinner consumption every day, which in turn affects the growth in height and weight. The child’s current height is only 110 centimeters, and weight is 40 jin. This has been the case since birth; the child eats very little regardless of what is served. What should I do? I am worried that he will not grow tall due to his poor appetite.
Answer
You can try giving the child a glucose zinc oral solution to see if there is any improvement.
