Question
My daughter is seven months old and she always coughs while eating. What’s going on?
Answer
If the baby is diagnosed with zinc deficiency, you can give her cod liver oil and zinc gluconate oral solution. At the same time, the baby may cough due to dyspepsia. It is recommended to follow the principle of gradually increasing complementary foods from thin to thick, from less to more, and from one type to multiple types when introducing new foods. You can also give the baby chicken gizzard powder to regulate gastrointestinal function.
