Question
The baby has been refusing to eat since noon yesterday. They have previously eaten well and had normal appetite, but recently they have been eating biscuits on their own. What could be the reason, and how should it be handled?
Answer
Based on the consultation, the baby may be suffering from dyspepsia or zinc deficiency. It is necessary to carefully check for signs of fever or abdominal pain. If anorexia is caused by zinc deficiency, zinc vitamin syrup or zinc gluconate syrup can be taken. If the symptoms are due to iron deficiency anemia, iron gluconate syrup can be taken. Additionally, taking a digestive aid like Shanmai Jianpi Oral Liquid can also be helpful.
