Question
When a 9-month-old baby eats solid foods, they experience dry cough and sometimes vomiting. How should this problem be handled?
Answer
If the baby coughs dryly and occasionally vomits while eating solid foods but can still consume some food, and can eat more when hungry, it is recommended to start with a third of a serving of rice porridge, a soft-boiled egg yolk, and only a few bites of other solid foods. If there is a suspicion of zinc deficiency, it is suggested to undergo a trace element test. If diagnosed with zinc deficiency, actively improve digestion and take zinc gluconate. Additionally, consider using traditional Chinese medicine preparations, such as Xing’er Yangpi Granules. Closely observe the baby’s condition to determine the best course of action. We hope these suggestions help you, and wish your baby a healthy growth!
