Patient's question:
I have a little baby at home who is currently in the teething stage. When she first started teething, she always had a lot of drool. The question I wanted to ask was: Does teething cause loss of appetite in babies? Will she not want to eat because her mouth feels uncomfortable during teething?Doctor's answer:
When babies are teething again, they may experience drooling, which is a normal phenomenon and does not require special care. During teething, babies may have mild fever, which can lead to loss of appetite. During this period, it is advisable to pay attention to giving them warm water to drink, which can help speed up metabolism and alleviate symptoms. Avoid eating greasy or hard-to-digest foods. Pay attention to providing a light diet for the baby.
