Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
This condition may be caused by poor intestinal health, as the child's intestinal function has not fully developed, which can affect normal absorption. Under the guidance of a pharmacist, the child can be given medications to regulate gastrointestinal motility, such as Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets or metoclopramide. It is also important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition and eats more zinc-rich foods, such as lean meat, eggs, fish, and shrimp.
