Question
Why does my eight-month-old baby not open its mouth to eat?
Answer
The baby may be unwilling to open its mouth to eat due to a calcium deficiency, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as pain, excessive sweating, or convulsions. It is recommended to have a blood calcium level test to confirm the diagnosis and consider taking calcium tablets and consuming foods rich in calcium, such as fish and bone soup, while also ensuring adequate rest and a balanced diet.
