Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me how long it takes for a baby's intestinal mucosa to recover?Doctor's answer:
The intestinal mucosa needs to be carefully nursed back to health. Avoid any greasy foods, and also be mindful not to eat hard-to-digest high-protein foods, as otherwise, it may manifest as growths on the skin. It may take at least a year to gradually recover. You can first have the child tested for trace elements to check if they are deficient in zinc. If so, you can try giving them zinc gluconate oral solution. Additionally, focus on increasing zinc intake in their diet. Include more coarse flour, tofu, and other soy products, beef, lamb, fish, lean meat, peanuts, sesame, dairy products, and cocoa in their meals. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
