Question
The girl’s lack of appetite for dinner is due to zinc deficiency. Should she take zinc supplements or medication to regulate her spleen and stomach? What has been the past treatment experience and outcomes? Are there any allergies or hereditary medical histories? What kind of assistance is expected?
Answer
It is recommended to have a diversified daily diet, which not only maintains a balanced nutrition but also makes children less likely to lack nutrients. Try to reduce the intake of snacks, as they often contain many flavorings and tend to be more appealing than regular meals, yet have little nutritional value. It is advisable to consume more foods rich in zinc, such as seafood, animal organs (like pork liver), oysters, lean meat, fish, beans, peanuts, millet, carrots, and cabbage.
