Management of Pediatric Malnutrition

Management of pediatric malnutrition involves identifying and addressing nutritional deficiencies in children. This process starts with assessing a child's growth and dietary intake. Treatment includes providing balanced meals rich in essential nutrients, such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals. In severe cases, medical intervention might be necessary, which can include therapeutic foods or supplements. Educating caregivers about proper nutrition and meal planning is also vital. Regular monitoring of the child’s progress ensures they regain a healthy weight and develop normally. The goal is to promote overall health and prevent long-term effects on their growth and development.
