Patient's question:
My baby is already 17 months old. He only eats vegetables and doesn't eat rice. Sometimes he hides the rice inside the vegetables, and he's quite clever—he knows there's rice inside and spits it out. If this continues for a long time, I worry that he won't get enough nutrition, and he gets very hungry at night without eating. He still needs to drink two or three milk feeds at night even at this age. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is mainly considered that there is inflammation of the respiratory system with signs of pneumonia. This could be caused by a viral or bacterial infection. It is recommended that you let your baby drink more hot water regularly. Pay attention to keeping warm. Avoid getting cold or catching a wind. Do not overplay. Avoid spicy and cold foods. You can take some antibiotics. The child's condition is not a problem. You can take your child to the hospital to check the levels of trace elements.
