Question 1: What is the reason for the yellowing of the hands and face of a one and a half year old baby? What tests are needed? Also, my baby can only speak simple overlapping words, and his speech is a bit unclear. The child\’s tongue tie may be a little short, and the tongue sticks out in a W shape. Does this need to be cut? Dr. Cui Lixia’s answer: If your hands and face turn yellow, check the blood routine to see if there is anemia. If there is anemia, you can take medicine according to the type. If there is no anemia, then the skin is like this. A concave W-shaped tongue is a sign of a short tongue tie. The biggest impact of a short tongue tendon is that it can easily lead to difficulty in breastfeeding and dysphonia in infants and young children. Therefore, if a short tongue tendon affects the baby\’s feeding and pronunciation, you must go to the dental department of the hospital as soon as possible to diagnose the situation. Generally speaking, mild tongue tie that has no impact on the baby does not require surgery; moderate tongue tie that is too short, such as difficulty in feeding and affecting growth and development or language training treatment is not effective, may be cut depending on the situation; severe tongue tie is too short, depending on the situation; Tongue-tie that is too short can be treated surgically. Whether it needs to be cut or not, it is recommended to undergo a face-to-face examination and make a judgment based on the actual situation. Question 2: My baby boy is 3 years old and 2 months old. In the past two days, he has noticed that he blinks his eyes many times each time, but not frequently. He has no trichiasis and the corners of his eyes are not red. What should I do in this situation? I watch TV for 5 hours a day, about an hour each time. Is this related to it? Dr. Zhu Xiwei’s answer: It does matter. Children spend too much time watching TV. It is not recommended to exceed two hours a day. If the situation persists after half a month of watching TV, you need to go to the hospital for examination to rule out the possibility of tics. In addition to blinking, tics also have symptoms of shaking and shrugging. Now let’s observe and observe. Question 3: A one-month-old baby girl has a clear mucus coming out from her lower body, which is like glue and sticks to her pants. What is going on? Dr. Chen Dan answered: Because the child is maintained by estrogen in the mother\’s body, the withdrawal of estrogen after delivery will cause vaginal redness and leucorrhea. Don\’t worry, just wash it gently with warm water and don\’t be too irritated.
