Patient's question:
The baby has been breastfeeding for eight months. A few days ago, they had their hair straightened, and yesterday they had a nutritional treatment with a strong smell. Since coming back, the baby has refused to drink milk and only eats for one day. What should I do? They also cry during naps, which is not like before. Now I feel extremely regretful.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to assist you. From your description of the baby's condition, it seems that the baby has started experiencing these symptoms again after getting their hair straightened and then receiving a nutritional treatment. Considering the potential correlation, chemicals were used during the hair treatment. It is recommended to first give the baby more water to enhance care. Determine what the baby can currently eat as supplementary food, such as porridge or noodles. Ensure the house is well-ventilated and maintain fresh indoor air at all times. Carefully observe the baby's condition. If the symptoms remain unstable, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination.
