Question
My child is 9 months old. They had a fever for about four or five days. Then we went to the hospital. The doctor examined them, took some blood for tests, and also had an X-ray done. The doctor said there was nothing serious. They prescribed some medication for us to take at home. Now the fever is gone, but the baby’s energy and mental state are very poor. What should we do?
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to boost the child’s nutrition by ensuring they drink plenty of water and get adequate rest, as dehydration might be a sign. If the baby shows signs of being listless again, it’s crucial to take them to the hospital for a check-up. Generally, a lack of energy can be a sign of a serious condition. It’s recommended to feed the baby a light and easily digestible diet, with small and frequent meals to ensure they get enough calories and rest. These are the suggestions for this issue, and I hope they are helpful to you. Wishing you and your child good health!
