Question
How can we address the potential malnutrition issues for a child who has never eaten meat, vegetables, or eggs but only drinks formula milk and rice?
Answer
It is suggested to conduct trace element tests, which may be related to zinc deficiency. Consider using zinc gluconate oral solution for treatment and investigate whether the child’s anorexia and picky eating are due to zinc deficiency, digestive dysfunction, or long-term intake of dyes and flavorings.
