How to deal with a one-year-old baby who refuses to eat or drink

Patient's question:

One-year-old baby hasn't eaten or drunk anything in the last two days; only breastfeeding. What's going on? Very worried.
Past treatment and effectiveness: Could it be because they ate too much a few days ago? As the saying goes, "children eat until they're full."
What kind of help is needed: Not sure what the doctor's advice is, but hoping to get better soon. Would it be okay to use a hot water bag on their stomach?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, the baby's lack of appetite may be due to indigestion. It is recommended that the mother gives the baby more water and eats in small, frequent meals. The baby can also take medication to help regulate the digestive system, such as probiotics. Breastfeeding mothers should also consider adjusting their diet structure, avoiding raw, greasy, or irritating foods. Increase the intake of vegetables rich in dietary fiber. Pay attention to keeping the baby's abdomen warm during daily life.
