The baby doesn't like to eat, has poor appetite, iron deficiency, and is also anemic. In the evening, when taking a nap, he always has bad breath, can't sleep soundly, and keeps tossing and turning. What could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

The baby doesn't like to eat, and besides the bad breath consideration, it is caused by indigestion. Oral Yang'er Xingspi Granules can be used for regulation. The baby doesn't sleep well at night and keeps tossing and turning, which is due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended that you take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination and diagnosis of trace elements. You can give the baby Longmu Zhuanggu Granules, Sanjing Gluconate Calcium, or other calcium supplements. All are acceptable. In terms of diet, eat more fish, shrimp skin, kelp, bone broth, etc., get more sun exposure to enhance calcium absorption. The bad breath condition is quite severe, and it is recommended that the patient seek timely symptomatic treatment.
