Question
My baby is 1 year and 7 months old. Lately, after falling asleep, her limbs twitch. She has always disliked sleeping on her stomach and has had diarrhea. Her stools have always been green, and various medications have been ineffective. Her chewing ability is poor, and she can still eat dinner well. However, she is more active and restless than before, constantly crawling up and down, and has been taking cod liver oil and calcium supplements. For the past week, she has had a slight cough, which has not responded to antibiotic treatment. The diagnosis is spleen deficiency cough. What detailed medical tests should I take my baby to the hospital for?

It is recommended to have her undergo detailed trace element tests at the hospital. She recently developed a slight cough that did not respond to antibiotic treatment. It is advisable for a doctor to perform percussion examination to check for bronchitis or pneumonia, while also conducting a blood test to determine whether the infection is viral or bacterial.
