Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Is it suitable for the baby to take gluconate zinc?Doctor's answer:
It's best to check if there's a zinc deficiency. If there isn't, supplementation isn't necessary. Zinc should not be overconsumed, and it's best to regulate it through diet. You can implement a "small meals, frequent feedings" approach for the baby to gradually improve. Relying on medication is not a long-term solution. Wishing the baby good appetite!Based on your description, it's recommended to have a brain CT scan at the hospital for a clear diagnosis before treatment. Avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods, and eat more fresh vegetables.
