Question
The child had a fever two days ago, and after the fever subsided, they had constipation 15 to 20 times a day. The doctor prescribed some Western medicine. They advised us to go to the hospital for a physical examination. Should a four-month-old baby have a physical examination?
Answer
Hello, generally speaking, a four-month-old baby does not need any physical examinations. However, growth and development monitoring can be done. Advice: Many second-tier hospitals now offer growth and development departments. You can take your baby for consultation regarding growth and development, complementary feeding, the addition of trace elements, and monitoring of medication intake.
