Question
A 4-month-old baby has recently started refusing to eat formula milk, vomiting after feeding, and frequently waking up at night. The baby’s bowel movements have also decreased. What could be the reasons, and do we need to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up?
Answer
Doctors suggest checking if the baby is deficient in zinc or suffering from indigestion, and can try taking oral gluconate zinc andJianpi San oral liquid (a Chinese herbal medicine). It is also important to pay attention to feeding methods, avoid overindulging the child, and seek professional medical consultation.
