Patient's question:
The child is premature and is now two and a half months old. When drinking milk, their face turns bright red and their hands and feet strain. What could be the reason? Should they go to the hospital for a check-up?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if there are no other issues regarding the child you mentioned, the main reason is due to difficulty breathing while feeding. It is recommended that you pay close attention to the child for a period of time and ensure proper breastfeeding. It is also advisable to let the baby drink some warm water, fresh juice, and consume bananas to avoid getting a heatstroke. Reduce the intake of greasy and easily heating-up foods. Additionally, it is best to supplement zinc and calcium appropriately, which is beneficial for physical development. As the child grows older, this condition will gradually improve.
