Patient's question:
Tianjing symptom description: The baby suddenly doesn't want to eat milk these three days. Previously, he/she ate every 2-3 hours, but now it's every 7-8 hours. When eating milk, he/she cries, is hungry and keeps eating hands, and is also sleepy. On August 3rd, he/she had a cold and a fever, but now the fever is gone, just with phlegm in the throat. Treatment history and effectiveness: Given fever-reducing medicine, the fever is gone. What help is desired: Is the child sick?Doctor's answer:
According to your description of the symptoms, the baby seems to have a respiratory infection, but this condition is generally viral. You can give him some children's expectorant and cough syrup, plus ribavirin. During this period, drink more water and eat fresh fruit and vegetable juices. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should avoid spicy and irritating foods. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.If the baby is fussy and sleepy, the mother must not ignore it, as this could be a sign of the baby being unwell. Some babies get colds or experience other discomforts, such as wet diapers or ill-fitting clothing, or issues with the surrounding environment. The baby is too young to express themselves verbally or point out the problem clearly, so they can only communicate through crying.
