Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What should I do if my 7-month-old baby refuses to drink milk and only wants to eat porridge?Doctor's answer:
This condition may be due to a weak spleen and stomach, primarily manifested as stomach bloating, stomach pain, belching, poor appetite, and fullness after meals. It can be regulated with Xiang Sha Liu Jun Wan, which may be effective. The diet should be light and avoid spicy foods. It is considered to be caused by tongue inflammation. For such issues, applying external iodine and glycerin for treatment and observation is a good option. Additionally, trace elements should be supplemented, and Xiao Shi Er Kang can be taken orally. Maintain good oral hygiene, drink plenty of water. If the pain affects feeding, a small amount of lidocaine can be applied. Wishing the baby good health.
