Baby Lacks Appetite and Has a Runny Nose Recently

Question

The baby has recently shown a lack of appetite and a runny nose, accompanied by fever and cough. The child has a history of bronchitis and has been sleeping longer during the afternoon, sometimes crying. The baby has been taking Aicang for two consecutive days with no significant effect, refusing to take the medication and experiencing dry heaves. At the same time, the child is taking calcium gluconate oral solution and AD drops, and the mother is also supplementing calcium.

Answer

If the baby only has a runny nose, it may be due to gastrointestinal issues. If accompanied by coughing or fever, it could be a cold. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a blood test to check for trace elements, determine the exact condition, and then treat accordingly. In daily life, it is advisable to drink more water and eat more fruit.
