Question
What should I do about a one and a half-year-old who recently stopped eating and is only drinking milk, without knowing why? It’s been over five weeks; he doesn’t eat dinner anymore, and today he hasn’t eaten at all. He used to be able to eat an egg a few days ago, but now he won’t eat anything. I want to know how to assist: What should I do?
Answer
The one and a half-year-old toddler has recently refused to eat. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a trace element test to rule out the possibility of nutrient deficiency. Communicate with the child, be patient in guiding them, and avoid forcing them to eat.
