Question
The baby is 2 months and 4 days old, and has recently experienced an increase in stool frequency and a higher water content. The problems include: 1. unwilling to drink formula (mixed feeding, just switched formula packaging), 2. easy to wake up and cry during sleep, 3. excessive sweating on the head, 4. decreased appetite (since yesterday), 5. nasal congestion since birth (body temperature 37.2 degrees). I hope to understand the baby’s condition and treatment methods.
Answer
Based on the description, the baby may be deficient in trace elements zinc and calcium. It is recommended to conduct a trace element test. If diagnosed with zinc and calcium deficiency, taking a calcium-zinc oral liquid for a period of time can help improve the baby’s symptoms.
