How to deal with a 1-year-old child with low fever and poor appetite?

Patient's question:

The baby has a cold. A one-year-old child with low fever and poor appetite. Who knows what the reason is?

Doctor's answer:

Hello friend, according to your description, the baby still has a cold, which is causing them to not want to eat. Advice for you: You can give the baby some traditional Chinese medicine to help with the cold, drink more water, and take some anti-inflammatory medication. If the fever still persists, you should go to the hospital to check if it's a viral or bacterial infection and receive symptomatic treatment. The lack of appetite could be due to zinc deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with zinc. I suggest you go to the hospital for a check-up.
