Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
Common illnesses in 3-month-old infants mainly include:
1. Respiratory diseases: Such as colds and bronchitis, presenting symptoms including coughing, fever, and nasal congestion. Infants are susceptible to viral infections due to their underdeveloped immune systems.
2. Gastrointestinal diseases: Such as diarrhea and constipation, which may be caused by improper feeding or imbalance in intestinal flora. Parents should pay attention to the infant's dietary hygiene and nutritional balance.
3. Skin conditions: Such as eczema and diaper rash, often related to infants' delicate and sensitive skin. Parents should keep the baby's skin clean and dry, and avoid using harsh or irritating skincare products.
4. Nutritional deficiencies: Such as night crying caused by calcium deficiency, presenting symptoms including crying at night and excessive sweating. Parents need to ensure the baby receives adequate calcium and other essential nutrients.
Parents should closely monitor their baby's health condition, and if any abnormalities are noticed, they should seek timely medical attention and follow medical advice for treatment.
