Question

My baby had a viral cold a few days ago, and although she’s not vomiting anymore, she has started refusing to eat and drink. There are blisters on her tongue. How can I get her to eat? Do I need to see a doctor immediately? Urgently seeking advice.

Answer

Your baby may be reluctant to eat due to pain caused by oral inflammation. It is advisable to consult a highly skilled practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, who can treat with herbal decoctions. The improved decoction has a pleasant taste and is usually sufficient in small doses to effectively alleviate symptoms and help stimulate appetite.
