Question
My child has been crying and not eating much lately. Who knows what kind of checks a 6-month-old baby should undergo?
Answer
Based on the described situation, your infant may be experiencing indigestion. The mother should avoid consuming cold and raw foods. During the baby’s diarrhea, it’s advisable to have them eat smaller, more frequent meals and consume easily digestible rice porridge. You can give the baby a symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication like Chang Le Kang or Ma Wei Yao to alleviate indigestion. If there are no other issues, a blood test to check for trace element levels is sufficient. For a comprehensive check-up, additional projects such as hearing tests and bone density tests can be added.
