What to do if your child has a partial eclipse

The child's body is in the main stage of growth, and reasonable dietary nutrition is very important for the child. It is very meaningful for children to develop good eating habits throughout their lives. But nowadays many children do not like to eat, and some even have serious picky eating habits, which really gives some parents a headache. Now we will tell you what to do if children have picky eating habits.

1. Proper feeding

Vigorously promote scientific parenting knowledge and ensure reasonable feeding. It is best for babies under 4 months old to be exclusively breastfed. Add complementary foods in a reasonable order and don't rush.

2. Develop good eating habits

The principle of "eating enough but not too full" should be followed when eating. Children should eat three meals a day, with two snacks and fruits in between. They should eat less fried and other hot foods, fatty foods, and raw and cold foods, so as not to increase the gastrointestinal burden and affect appetite. They should maintain a relaxed and happy mood when eating. If they are too full for a while, they can take some digestive medicine, or they can eat less or no food for one or two meals, and then resume normal meals after the child is hungry and the gastrointestinal tract is unblocked. "Hunger therapy" often has unexpected results; get enough sleep and avoid strenuous activities before and after meals.

3. Strengthen physical exercise

Appropriately increasing the child's activity level can speed up gastrointestinal motility, increase the secretion of digestive juices, increase appetite, and enhance the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function.

4. Actively treat the primary disease

Treat physical or gastrointestinal diseases promptly and eliminate the causes. Moreover, drug treatment must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor and medication must not be taken without permission.

5. Stop taking drugs that cause gastrointestinal reactions

Stop taking antibiotics and other drugs that cause gastrointestinal reactions.

6. Supplement trace elements

If anorexia is caused by zinc deficiency, oral zinc preparations can be given. In addition, you can also supplement your diet and eat more animal foods.

7. Medication

Digestive aids, gastrokinetic drugs, and hormone therapy may be considered for severe and intractable anorexia.

In fact, our traditional Chinese medicine is also very effective in treating anorexia in children. Children can be given massage, acupuncture, plasters, etc. The treatment is mainly based on the different physical conditions of the children. It has no side effects and can fundamentally regulate the spleen and stomach. If you find that your child has picky eating and anorexia, you can take your child to seek traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
