Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much either. What should I do if my baby, who is seven and a half months old, 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 that the issue may be caused by tongue inflammation. For such problems, applying external iodine and glycerin ointment can be a good choice for treatment and observation. Additionally, trace elements should be supplemented, and you can try taking Xiao Shi Er Kang orally. Maintain good oral hygiene, drink more water. If the pain affects feeding, you can apply lidocaine. Wish the baby good health.
