Patient's question:
How come the seven-and-a-half-month-old baby gets sick so often. He always has digestive problems. What's going on? Like now, with the flu and colds, he's been fussy for half a month. At seven-and-a-half months, he only weighs 16 pounds, and he must have gotten thinner. It makes me feel so heartbroken. Is it low immunity or something?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad I can help you. Based on the symptoms you described and the child's condition, it is likely that the child has reached the age when they should start complementary feeding. Most children at this age tend to have poor spleen and stomach function. Do not overfeed the child to avoid indigestion. I suggest you give the child acupuncture appropriately. Drink more water and eat less extremely cold and spicy foods. Get some sun when you have time to absorb vitamin D and aid digestion. Alternatively, you can take You'er capsules orally to enhance immunity. Wishing you a speedy recovery! The above advice is for the question "Why does a 7.5-month-old male baby always get sick?" and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
