Question 1: My baby is 7 months old. Ever since he choked on milk twice a few days ago, he keeps turning over when sleeping. In the past few days, I have not dared to add complementary foods, and I have not dared to feed too much milk. Doctor, what\’s going on? Is there anything I need to pay special attention to? Can complementary foods be added later? Dr. Wang Yanli answered: After choking, some small milk powder particles will enter the trachea or lungs, causing an inflammatory reaction and making the child uncomfortable. Or after swallowing milk, the mucous membrane of the posterior nasal passages will be edematous due to inflammatory stimulation, making the child uncomfortable with nasal congestion during sleep, and the child needs to change his position to relieve it. Parents don’t need to worry, this process usually resolves in about a week. Complementary food can be added, but attention should be paid to feeding the baby slowly, and patting the baby on the back as often as possible after eating to promote the discharge of gas in the stomach. Feed small amounts frequently and don\’t let your baby eat too much at once. Question 2: Hello, doctor, my baby is three years old. Her eyes were covered with thick yellow secretions. I gave her tobramycin drops for four days and she got better. However, there was still a little dry eye mucus in the morning. Later, she was replaced with a scapula. Baishi, I took the drops for four days and stopped yesterday. I can\’t open my eyes again today. What kind of eye drops should I use? Because the baby didn\’t cooperate, I gave it three times a day, one drop at a time. Dr. Zhang Yanmei answered: In addition to eye drops, oral medications are also required. It is recommended to drink children\’s rejuvenation granules, 1 pack each time, 3 times a day. You can apply Houttuynia cordata eye drops or erythromycin eye ointment. If the baby does not cooperate, you can wait until the baby falls asleep, squeeze out a small strip of about 2cm and apply it to the crevices of the eyes. Question 3: A nine-month-old baby fell off the bed and took a big bite. Do you need to reduce the swelling? There is currently no vomiting, and I stopped crying after a while. What should I do next? Dr. Yang Yafeng answered: It is recommended to clean the epidermis, and then observe whether the baby has crying, vomiting, irritability, etc. If necessary, take a CT scan in time to rule out intracranial hemorrhage.
