The child grows taller but does not gain weight

Parents have different requirements for their children's height and weight. Some children grow fast and gain weight quickly, but some children do not gain weight, look very thin, and have poor immunity, which makes parents very anxious. Although such children grow taller, if they are too thin, we need to pay attention to spleen and stomach deficiency, which is also one of the main reasons that prevent nutrients from being absorbed.

1. Deficiency of spleen and stomach

The spleen and stomach are the two organs of energy that are responsible for food absorption. Deficiency of the spleen and stomach can prevent our body from absorbing nutrients. It will also affect your child's absorption of nutrients, causing your child to indirectly suffer from malnutrition, which means your child will not grow meat.

Long-term consumption of relatively raw and cold food may cause your child's spleen and stomach to become weak, or if your child often catches a cold in the abdomen when he is young, it may also cause your child's spleen and stomach to become weak. It is difficult to cure a child's spleen and stomach deficiency in a short period of time, so it takes a very long and careful time to maintain the child's spleen and stomach.

2. Parasites

Nowadays, because people's sanitary conditions are better, parasites may be less common in big cities, but in remote rural areas or small villages in the mountains, some children may have symptoms of parasites. Parasites will absorb some nutrients from food in children's bodies, and also parasitize in the children's gastrointestinal tract, which may cause the children to absorb less nutrients and not get nutrition, so they will not grow weight.

There are now special medicines that can help children deworm. Just like the medicine I took when I was a child, people called it sugar pills. Because it is very sweet, it is very popular with children. Children are also particularly easy to accept this anthelmintic medicine. So when a child has parasites, you can take the child to the hospital, find a doctor, and prescribe some anthelmintic medicine because it is very sweet and because it only kills insects and will not cause harm to the baby's body.

3. Dietary problems

If the baby appears under normal eating conditions, he will not grow at the normal age. Then it may be because there is something wrong with the food the parents feed their children. It is not that the food they feed their children is not nutritious, but that there is a problem in the nutritional combination. If two antagonistic foods are fed to the child at the same time, then not only will the child not get certain nutrition, but it will cause some digestive tract diseases in the child. This is because if you eat some antagonistic foods, a reaction will occur in our gastrointestinal tract, thereby forming some substances that are not good for the body.

If you eat meat or animal offal, you can actually supplement your baby with some vitamin A or iron.
