First of all, in some infectious diseases, especially digestive diseases, children will have a decreased appetite and become picky and anorexic; secondly, oral medications, such as antibiotics, sulfonamides, and vitamin A or D overdose, will also affect the appetite, resulting in picky and anorexic; thirdly, the lack of zinc, a trace element, can also be anorexic; fourthly, weather changes, such as in the summer, the temperature is very high, so it will be very difficult for the children to eat. Fourthly, it is the change of weather, for example, in summer, the temperature is higher, the human body’s digestive fluid secretion is reduced, the activity of digestive enzymes is reduced, and the appetite will be reduced; and finally, it is improper feeding and dietary disorders.
