Question
The baby has a cold. Why does a 1-year-old child have a low fever and not want to eat? Who knows what the cause is?
Answer
Hello, friend! Based on your description, the baby seems to have caught a cold, leading to a lack of appetite. Here are some suggestions: You can give the baby some traditional Chinese medicine, which is effective for treating colds, ensure they drink plenty of water, take some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, and if they still have a fever, it’s best to go to the hospital to determine if it’s a viral or bacterial infection and receive appropriate treatment. Not wanting to eat might be due to zinc deficiency. It is recommended to supplement with zinc. It’s advisable to take your child to the hospital for a check-up.
