Question
Lately, my daughter has been refusing to eat and crying, her weight and height are normal, but she has shown symptoms of loss of appetite and vomiting. She has seen a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and taken medication, but the situation has not improved. What are the possible causes and solutions?
Answer
It is recommended to carefully check for deficiencies and possible digestive issues. Try giving her oral gluconate zinc and Shan Mai Jian Pi oral liquid. Avoid using monosodium glutamate and chicken essence, as these can easily lead to zinc deficiency, which may cause a decrease in appetite. Additionally, be sure to control snacking.
