Question
A 14-month-old child recently has lost interest in food, vomiting during feeding, weighing 20 jin, and has almost not eaten for the past two days. What could be the possible reasons for this situation?
Answer
Hello, a 14-month-old baby weighing 20 jin is still within the normal range. Please do not worry excessively. However, if your baby suddenly shows a decrease in appetite, be aware that this may be an early sign of illness. Please closely monitor your baby’s body temperature changes and whether there are symptoms such as coughing or runny nose. If you have these symptoms, consider giving appropriate cold medicine. If your baby’s mental state is poor, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.
