Patient's question:
I have always had poor appetite. Some people say that taking one dose of Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian every day can help. After taking it, it seems to have improved. Is this method effective? Is it harmful to the child's body?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is normal for babies to have thick tongues when they primarily consume milk. Observe the baby's stool—if it's dry, it may indicate some internal heat, which could lead to constipation. You can appropriately offer the baby some warm boiled water, especially after each feeding and before bedtime. Gradually, this should improve. You should avoid excessive greasy foods and opt for a lighter diet instead.If the baby has poor appetite or is picky about food, you can give one tablet three times a day. Generally, symptoms should improve within one to two days. Once the appetite returns, it's important to regulate the diet and maintain dietary hygiene, avoiding overeating or consuming irregular meals.
