Patient's question:
My baby is now six and a half months old. Previously, he really liked complementary foods but didn't like drinking milk much. However, a few days ago, he caught a cold due to a cold. Now that he has recovered, he doesn't like complementary foods much anymore and is instead very interested in milk. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
When infants and young children have poor appetite, their digestive ability decreases. It is recommended to avoid forced feeding to prevent indigestion or vomiting. Long-term poor appetite may affect their growth and development, leading to poor complexion or increased susceptibility to colds. Appropriate use of traditional Chinese medicine can regulate the spleen and stomach, promote digestion and absorption, and help restore appetite. Congee prepared from traditional Chinese medicine has a appetite-stimulating effect and can be appropriately consumed by infants and young children with poor appetite.
