Why is my baby’s lips red and they keep licking? This has been going on for two years, and they often catch colds, get fever, and have oral ulcers.
Answer
Hello, based on your description, it’s generally recommended to enhance nutrition and exercise to boost the body’s resistance. Pay attention to your diet, avoid overeating spicy or irritating foods, and fishy foods, and maintain a balanced diet. Drink plenty of water, and consider taking some gastrointestinal digestion medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach, improve appetite, and enhance the body’s resistance. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment as well. There are many factors that can cause hand, foot, and mouth disease. If the child is diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for active treatment, including gastrointestinal pressure reduction, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to allow their children to develop picky eating habits and maintain a reasonable diet.
