Question
What medication should a two-year-old who doesn’t eat enough?
Answer
Hello. If your baby is two years old and experiencing the symptoms you mentioned, it’s generally due to poor gastrointestinal function. Based on the information you provided, anemia or zinc deficiency can also cause poor appetite, and treatment and supplementation should be given. I suggest giving your child some digestive syrup or hawthorn and curcuma mixture to aid digestion, and encourage them to drink more water. It’s best to consult a doctor at the hospital for treatment based on your child’s specific condition. Moreover, your baby might be lacking in zinc. Moms should control snacks, encourage more eating of rice, more fruits and vegetables, and more calcium-rich foods. You can give them children’s glucose acid zinc syrup and hawthorn stomachic tablets.
