What to Do When a Child Has Low Appetite?

Question

What should I do if my baby has a poor appetite?

Answer

Based on the description of your baby’s condition, it may be due to cold or gastrointestinal dysfunction. If necessary, further examination of trace elements, such as zinc deficiency, can also lead to a lack of appetite. As for suggestions and recommendations, you can consider administering oral lactobacillus tablets, digestives, and medroxyprogesterone oral solution, among other symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications. Gently rub your baby’s stomach and apply a cold compress to the navel. Ensure your baby gets enough deep sleep. Appropriate outdoor activities are beneficial for the absorption and digestion of food. Control the amount of food intake and change the habit of eating snacks frequently. There’s no need to worry; it will gradually improve.
