Question 1: My baby is 4 years old. Today I found that the nail on the little finger is uneven. What’s going on? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: In this case, you can check whether the child is deficient in iron. If it is deficient, give the child timely supplementary treatment. If there is no deficiency and the daily diet is nutritionally balanced, then there is no need to intervene and it will have no impact on the child. In addition, in addition to nutritional deficiencies that may cause uneven nails, carelessness in personal hygiene and fungal infections can also cause uneven nails, so be sure to help your children develop good hygiene habits. Question 2: I am 32 years old and currently breastfeeding. I have had less than three colds in this month, and each time I have a stuffy nose, runny nose, and sneezing. What can I eat to prevent frequent colds like this? Can I take vitamin C? My child is now 10 months old. I can’t sleep well while breastfeeding at night. Will it affect my child’s frequent colds and breastfeeding? Can it be passed on to children? Will breast milk quality decrease? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: Taking vitamin C is useless. The best way is to exercise properly and maintain good sleep and mood. The child needs to be weaned off night feeding, which affects the sleep of adults and interferes with the child\’s sleep. Generally, it is recommended to slowly wean off night feeding after 6 months. Just wear a mask when you have a cold and it will not affect the quality of breast milk. Question 3 I would like to ask, what should I do if I have sex during confinement after a miscarriage? I heard others say that having sex during confinement will cause illness. Will it cause any impact or harm in the future? Are there any side effects as you get older? Dr. Zhang Yanyan’s answer: Pay attention to contraception, because you can still get pregnant. It is not recommended to have sexual intercourse during the confinement period because the uterus has not yet recovered and infection is prone to occur during this period. However, if there is no infection at the time, there will generally be no problem.
