Question
The child has been crying frequently lately and has a poor appetite. What are the suggestions for dealing with a child who is thin and not gaining weight?
Answer
This condition may be related to poor spleen and stomach function, with common symptoms including bloating, stomachache, belching, decreased appetite, and gas after meals. Consider using Xiangsha Liujun Wan for adjustment, but it is recommended to adopt a light diet and avoid spicy foods. The specific treatment plan should be determined based on individual circumstances. Cod liver oil is usually used to help promote calcium absorption, generally starting from the 14th day after birth, one pill per day. The specific time of administration should be determined according to the child’s growth situation.
