Question

The child has been grinding their teeth during sleep since the age of four, and they are very picky eaters, not liking to eat rice, requiring coaxing or threats to eat a little food, and sometimes vomiting after eating. They never ask for food on their own, and the grinding noise is very loud during sleep.

Answer

Hello, this situation may be due to a lack of trace elements or vitamins, or it could be caused by parasite infection. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a comprehensive checkup to determine the cause and treat it accordingly. Additionally, there are many causes of pediatric digestive diseases. If your child is diagnosed with a pediatric digestive disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor to actively treat it, including performing gastric and intestinal decompression, and forming good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention not to let their child develop the bad habit of picky eating and to have a balanced diet.
