Patient's question:
A one-year-old child is emotionally low after being sick. They are feeling irritable. I want to ask if there are any good solutions. The onset and duration of this illness: 3 days Medical history: Previously had a cold and fever, received a week of intravenous drips. Didn't eat much food. Is it possible that the medication is causing this?Doctor's answer:
I am not a doctor, but I often go to the hospital. I have children. I have read books on this topic. My opinion can only be for reference. I hope it helps you.It is normal for illness to affect mood. Especially when children are young and unable to regulate their emotions. Parents don’t need to be too anxious. Children need a recovery period. They will soon get better.
In this situation, it’s okay to let the child do things they enjoy. It’s best to take them to a place where there are many children. Let them play with their peers. Once their emotions are released, they will naturally be more willing to eat.
However, the food should be as light as possible. It’s good for children who are sick or in recovery.
