Question
My baby, who is between 0 and 20 days old, was found to be deficient in zinc during a checkup for trace elements. After ten days of taking zinc gluconate oral solution and vitamin B12 amino acid tablets, the anorexia symptoms persist, and recently, while drinking milk, she cries and has frequent burping and occasional vomiting. She has been treated but with no effect.
Answer
Anorexia in infants may be caused by zinc deficiency, anemia, or spleen and stomach weakness. It is recommended to check the trace elements again and to perform related treatments. If there are no such issues, it may be considered to use tonifying stomach medicine to improve appetite.
