Patient's question:
The baby is 7 months old and has already started on solid foods. Usually, we feed them a very small amount of banana puree and freshly squeezed orange juice. Yesterday, we just gave the child a dose of Haya Calcium, Iron, and Zinc Oral Liquid. Last night, the baby kept scratching their face while taking their nap, and this morning, there were a few small pimples on their face. By noon, we noticed a few more on their chin. Is it an allergy? Or what could be the reason? Today, the child is in good spirits, but they're not very interested in eating.Doctor's answer:
Dear consultant,Through your description, I noticed a few scattered red rashes on the child's face. If the child hasn't sweated or felt overheated, this could be due to a medication allergy. You can pause the calcium and zinc oral liquid for a few days and see how the rashes develop. If they don't appear, it might be the medication causing them.
As for the poor appetite, it's not a major issue—it could be due to overeating previously.
