Question
What are the reasons for a child not eating dinner well and having dry stool?
Answer
Parents report that the child, who is five years old, does not eat properly, has dry stool, chapped lips, and is 106 cm tall. The situation improves with medication but recurs later. The doctor suggests checking for trace elements at a local hospital and improving constipation through dietary adjustments, such as eating less spicy and fried food and more vegetables and protein-rich foods. Oral medication can be taken, and the child should drink honey water daily and eat bananas before bedtime. Additionally, oral multivitamins and Weiqi Yangxue granules can be taken.
