Question
After entering summer, my child loves to eat fruit but doesn’t want to eat rice. I don’t know how to feed him. After going to the hospital for a check-up, I found out it’s anorexia. I want to know what treatment methods are available for this condition. How should pediatric anorexia be treated?
Answer
Balanced Diet, Diversified Food Choices: Select a reasonable recipe, achieve a balance between coarse and fine grains, and mix meat and vegetables; pay attention to the variety of dishes, correct the child’s aversion to noodles, and their biased eating habits of “loving meat but not vegetables” or “loving vegetables but not meat”; remove bones from fish, bones from meat, and chop vegetables into small pieces and cook them soft; cut fibrous foods into small pieces, threads, or blocks to accommodate the child’s underdeveloped digestive organs; consume more foods rich in trace elements, such as animal liver, lean meat, fish, beans and bean products, peanuts, and rapeseed.
