Question
The child is 2 years and 4 months old. Besides milk, the child has a poor appetite for meals, eating only a few mouthfuls before stopping. The parents are worried about a potential zinc deficiency.
Answer
Consider giving the child glucose zinc oral solution or calcium zinc iron oral solution and conducting a trace element test to confirm if there is a zinc deficiency. If a zinc deficiency is confirmed, appropriate supplements can be taken. Additionally, you can try giving the child Four Mole Decoction to regulate the spleen and stomach, thereby enhancing appetite.
