How to relieve a baby's refusal to eat and drink

Patient's question:

A few days ago, I had a viral cold. The doctor prescribed medication, which I took for two days. My cold is almost gone, but now I've started vomiting and having diarrhea. Today, I'm not vomiting anymore, but I've stopped eating and drinking. I noticed some blisters on my baby's tongue. How can I get her to eat? Should I see a doctor immediately? Urgent reply needed.

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is very likely that the "bubbles" on the baby's tongue are the cause. This means there is a clear oral inflammation spreading, which leads to oral pain. Eating dinner brings relief to the pain, so the child is unwilling to eat dinner. You can consider finding a highly skilled traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner to give your baby herbal decoctions for treatment, which is the most effective method. It can not only effectively address the spread of viruses and bacteria but also improve appetite and aid in absorption, treating the root cause.
(Improved herbal decoctions) can allow the child to take just 20~~30ml each time while achieving excellent results. Adding a moderate amount of sugar makes the taste similar to oral liquids, so most children can take it well.
