Patient's question:
A 3-month-old baby is exclusively formula-fed, drinking hypoallergenic. Lately, she has suddenly become uninterested in formula, with a reduced total milk intake. She eats only a little at a time and refuses more, crying when offered additional feedings. However, she is willing to drink water. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Baby, in this situation, if the appetite suddenly decreases, it is very likely that the baby has been infected with a virus, leading to poor digestive function. Alternatively, the virus infection may have caused oral ulcers, or fungal infection may have led to oral ulcers. In this case, you need to check the baby's mouth for any issues and address them as soon as possible. If there are no problems in the mouth, it is likely that the baby still has poor digestive function. You can try taking some intestinal probiotics to help regulate it, such as Zhengliang Sheng Granules.
