Question: A six-year-old boy likes to eat his nails. He chews his toenails and fingernails when he sits there every day. What is the reason? Do I need any medicine? Dr. Luo Zhen answered: The child\’s situation is not due to lack of trace elements, but mainly due to a lack of security. It is not simply reasonable, let alone criticizing, but requires more \”care\”. Parents can spend more time with him, holding hands, telling stories, reading picture storybooks, etc. Once the child has an object of attachment and a sense of security, it will be less likely for him to eat his nails. If you eat during the day, you can use the \”transfer method\”, such as letting the child go outside more and play with other children. Question 2: Why does a one-year-old child vomit after every feeding? All I took were some anti-inflammatory medicines for coughs, runny noses and diarrhea. I can’t remember the names of the medicines. They were all packed in paper packages. My child hasn’t felt better after taking medicine for a while, and I’m worried about whether he’s damaged his gastric mucosa. Do I need to do some testing? Dr. Li Tinghui answered: This shows that the drug is very irritating to the stomach and causes nausea. It is recommended to stop using this drug and not feed it. The doctor can give you the drug in a bag to reduce the types of drugs and adverse reactions. Taking medicine for a long time can damage the liver and kidneys, and can cause vomiting. If the inflammation in the stomach is severe, the blood count will be high, which can also cause vomiting! If you take medicine for a long time, you can check your liver function, kidney function, and blood routine. Question 3: My baby is four months old. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with bronchitis. Is there any better treatment? Is bronchitis easy to get and how to prevent it? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: If the child is too young, infusion or hospitalization is generally recommended. Oral medication is not recommended as it may cause diarrhea. Bronchitis is easy to occur after a cold. Pay attention to adding or removing clothes in time, arrange your diet and sleep appropriately, avoid contact with patients, and treat the cold promptly.
