Question
How can I solve my 5-month-old baby’s loss of appetite? He has been disinterested in eating congee for a week now, always closing his mouth, and the milk formula is still okay, but the amount he drinks is decreasing day by day. He vomited tonight. He has also vomited twice in the past few days. What should I do? He weighed 5.8 kg at birth and now weighs only 13 kg. I am looking for help to stimulate his appetite.
Answer
Doctors recommend not giving young babies oral medications to avoid adverse effects. It is suggested to seek medical assistance and consider using traditional Chinese medicine external treatments, such as applying children’s firm plasters, along with pediatric acupuncture therapy for better results.
