Question
Why does a 1.5-year-old baby keep scratching their stomach?
Answer
It’s generally a sign of itching, which is often not visible to the naked eye. If itching is present, it’s advisable to apply a soothing, anti-inflammatory ointment and take the baby to see a doctor. Prolonged use of such ointments is not recommended. It’s important to ensure a balanced diet, consuming fresh vegetables and fruits, and timely supplementation with various vitamins, along with appropriate physical activity to maintain emotional stability for a quick recovery. Relying solely on one type of food is not sufficient.
