Question
A nearly 9-year-old child is experiencing slow weight gain and frequent sharp spikes on their fingers. Which department should they visit for a consultation?
Answer
It is recommended to first enhance nutrition and observe exercise habits. If further examination is needed, consider visiting a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner to adjust the body’s constitution, as a thin constitution may be related to internal heat. The development of sharp spikes on the fingers might be due to repeated injuries. These suggestions do not provide a specific diagnosis, and it is advised to seek a detailed examination at a hospital.
