Question
The baby was born with a pedunculated small lump on the neck, with movable lumps inside. The doctor said it was a fibroma and it’s not serious. Now, at 9 months old, the lump has grown some more. I’m very worried. What should I do now? Can babies with fibroma eat fish?
Answer
Generally, you can start introducing complementary foods after three months, as the child grows faster and requires less nutrition. At 7 months old, it’s okay for the baby to have complementary foods. Fish is a high-protein food that can be consumed and is beneficial for the child. However, do not overuse it to avoid indigestion and diarrhea. If the child is too young, it is recommended not to feed them fish to prevent injury from thorns. Fibromas have a higher recurrence rate, and it is suggested to use Chinese herbal medicine therapy after surgery.
