Patient's question:
A while ago, I had a fever and pneumonia. I was treated with intravenous fluids and medication, taking medicine, and was restless for a whole week. After fully recovering, I felt that the baby seemed to have changed. He wasn't as lively as before and sometimes stared blankly at one place. In these days, his stomach hasn't been feeling well either, and he can't absorb nutrients properly. He also dislikes clinging to adults and always looks for his mom. He hates being carried by adults and whines at home. Before, he would laugh at the slightest joke, but now he seems dull. I really don't know what's going on. Is it poor digestion, an uncomfortable stomach, or something else? Should I take him to the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Mainly, the child is sick and uncomfortable. In the hospital's unfamiliar environment, a long tube keeps pouring water into the child's body, which slightly scares the child. Therefore, the child always seeks the mother for protection, showing signs of separation anxiety. In the hospital, the child does not eat dinner on time and cannot enjoy delicious meals. After a period of rest at home, the child will recover. When seeking attention from adults, do not reject the child; instead, hug the child and give them warmth.
