Doctor's answer:

Hello: According to what you said, the current condition of the child should be a symptom of damp-heat. As for what elements are lacking, a detailed trace element test is needed to confirm the diagnosis. If the baby frequently gets sick, it is important to enhance care. Pay attention to adding or removing clothes, ventilating and disinfecting the room. During flu season, avoid crowded places to prevent cross-infection. Also, it is necessary to strengthen nutrition. You can have the baby tested for trace elements to check if there is iron deficiency anemia, zinc deficiency, calcium deficiency, etc., which can also lead to poor constitution. Therefore, if there is a deficiency of trace elements, it should be supplemented in a timely manner. Enhance exercise to strengthen the baby's constitution.
