Patient's question:
Tianjing symptom description: The baby suddenly doesn't like to eat milk these three days. Previously, they ate every 2 or 3 hours, but now they eat every 7 or 8 hours. When they eat milk, they cry, and they keep eating their hands and are sleepy. On August 3rd, they had a cold and a fever, but now they don't have a fever, just a sore throat with phlegm. Treatment history and effectiveness: They were given fever-reducing medicine, and the fever is gone now. What help do they want: Is the child sick?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the symptoms, the baby seems to have a respiratory infection, but this condition is usually viral. You can give him some children's mucus-thinning and cough-relieving granules, plus ribavirin. During this period, drink more water, eat more fresh fruit and vegetable juice. If breastfeeding, the mother should avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.If the baby is fussy and sleepy, the mother must not ignore it, as this could be a sign of the baby being unwell. Some babies get colds or experience other discomforts, such as wet diapers or ill-fitting clothing, or issues with the surrounding environment. The baby is too young to express themselves verbally or point out the problem clearly, so they can only communicate through crying.
