Patient's question:
The baby has been taking pepsin oral solution for the past few days and has been on it for two days. Still not eating, and the stool is yellow and a bit loose. Should the medication continue to be administered?With poor spleen and stomach function and digestive issues, how can we get the baby to eat? How can we get the baby to eat? Try to eat less milk and more food. Is it okay to wean the baby now?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description of your child's condition, your child is reluctant to eat dinner and has low appetite. It is likely that there is a deficiency of trace elements. It is recommended to promptly seek medical examination and treatment at a regular hospital's pediatric department. Have your child's blood tested for trace elements to check if there is a deficiency of zinc, iron, or other trace elements. Once a deficiency of a specific element is detected, active symptomatic treatment can be administered to avoid delaying your child's condition and nutritional balance.
