Also taking Calcium Gluconate Oral Liquid and AD drops (the mother is also taking calcium tablets). Breastfeeding for about 20 days. Due to severe calcium deficiency in the baby.
What kind of help is needed: Hello, what are the reasons for the baby's poor appetite and how to address the frequent fever?
Doctor's answer:
If the child only has a runny nose without other symptoms, it is likely caused by a stomachache. If accompanied by symptoms like coughing or fever, then it is a fever. Generally, for a runny nose with yellow mucus, cold medicine should be taken for wind-heat. It is best to take the child to the hospital for a trace element test to determine the type of fever and then prescribe medication accordingly. Pay attention to giving the child more water and fruits.The above is advice for the question "Baby has been picky about food and runny nose recently." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
