Why Is My Child Eating a Lot But Not Gaining Weight?
The common reason for children eating a lot but not gaining weight is dietary factors, but it could also be caused by indigestion, chronic enteritis, hyperthyroidism, and other reasons. It is recommended to adopt appropriate treatment methods after diagnosis.
An unreasonable diet structure and long-term consumption of low-calorie foods such as vegetables and fruits may not meet the body's energy needs, which clinically often leads to weight loss. In this case, the diet structure should be adjusted to ensure balanced nutrition, and more nutrient-rich foods should be consumed.
Overeating and long-term consumption of difficult-to-digest foods can burden the gastrointestinal system and affect its normal physiological functions. Clinically, this often leads to incomplete digestion and absorption of food, resulting in weight loss. Patients need to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and take medication such as Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian, Lactobacillus Tablets, and Bacillus Subtilis Live Bacteria Granules under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, the diet structure should be adjusted to eat smaller meals more frequently and ensure balanced nutrition.
Incomplete treatment of acute enteritis and poor resistance to disease can often lead to chronic inflammation of the intestine. Clinically, this often manifests as abnormal gastrointestinal function accompanied by weight loss, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and other symptoms. Patients need to take medication such as Prednisone Acetate Tablets, Montmorillonite Powder, and Bifidobacterium Capsules under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, they should pay attention to dietary hygiene and perform daily care.
Long-term exposure to ionizing radiation, abnormal iodine intake, and pituitary tumors can often lead to excessive thyroid activity accompanied by abnormal thyroid hormone secretion, inducing systemic symptoms such as increased appetite and weight loss. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible and take medication such as Thyroxine Sodium Tablets, Thyroid Tablets, and Propranolol Hydrochloride Tablets under the guidance of a doctor. This can inhibit symptoms caused by thyroid hormone conversion. At the same time, it is necessary to comply with the doctor's advice for regular follow-up and develop good living habits.
Apart from the above reasons, diabetes and other factors may also cause weight loss. These are often caused by abnormal metabolism, improper diet, genetic factors, and other reasons, which usually manifest as frequent urination, increased thirst, and weight loss. Patients need to take hypoglycemic drugs such as Repaglinide Tablets, Glimepiride Capsules, and Gliclazide Tablets as prescribed by their doctors. During medication, it is necessary to closely monitor blood sugar changes, adjust the diet, exercise appropriately, and control weight.
