After the milk tooth falls out, the new tooth should emerge within 3-4 months. If the child does not grow a new tooth after losing a tooth, it may be due to the early loss of the milk tooth, or the regional gingiva may become hard and thick due to regional chewing, which could make it difficult for permanent teeth to erupt. It could also be due to special conditions, such as a cystic swelling or congenital malocclusion, which may cause bones to grow horizontally or inverted. If permanent teeth erupt improperly, the corresponding eruption will be difficult. If the new tooth has not grown for more than half a year after the milk tooth falls out, or if symmetrical teeth have grown for half a year and the new teeth have not developed, it is recommended that parents take their child to the hospital for an X-ray examination, excluding special cases. If the position of the new tooth is normal and the root development still has some potential, there is no need to worry.
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) in newborns refers to brain damage caused by oxygen deficiency and ischemia due to perinatal asphyxia. The disease manifests as symptoms such as consciousness impairment, irritability, low responsiveness, drowsiness, coma, bulging fontanelles, separation of sutures, increased head circumference, and seizures. Treatment should involve immediate initiation of mild hypothermia therapy to protect brain cells, improve the metabolic function of damaged neurons, and maintain a stable internal environment. Concurrently, symptomatic supportive treatment should be provided to control seizures, reduce brain edema, and improve cerebral blood flow and brain cell metabolism. Neural nutrition therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and functional training can improve the prognosis.

My child is already two years old and has recently shown a lack of appetite. The symptoms of reduced appetite over the past two months may be caused by the following reasons. First, dietary issues need to be considered, determining whether it is due to food accumulation. Secondly, a deficiency in trace element zinc and iron-deficiency anemia should be considered. It is recommended to conduct trace element tests and routine blood tests for the child, combining clinical examinations to clarify the cause and treatment plan.
A two-year-old child recently has lost interest in eating, possibly due to a cold, weakened spleen and stomach function, or zinc deficiency, leading to picky eating and decreased appetite. It is recommended to consult a doctor for a medical examination and symptomatic treatment.
