Question
Is it normal for a baby over one year old to suck their fingers and drool? Could it be a sign of brain palsy?
Answer
According to your description, if a baby over one year old continues to suck their fingers and drool, it may be a sign of weak spleen and stomach. In such cases, you might consider giving the baby some traditional Chinese medicine, such as Simo Decoction Oral Liquid, to regulate the function of the spleen and stomach. Additionally, it’s important to pay attention to the baby’s diet, providing light, easy-to-digest, and absorbable food, and ensuring the baby has enough water intake. Moreover, regular lifestyle habits and good sleep patterns are also key factors in helping improve the baby’s spleen and stomach function.
