What Causes Swelling On The Face And Umbilicus For A 4-month-old?
my baby is 4months old and I tried giving him cerelac and it seems like his allergic because he started to be swollen on his face and belly button and under his armpits, what do I do if he has to start solid foods. since then he always scratch his face and that s very irritating. I took him to a GP and his using epi-zone for bath and aquoes cream for moisturizing.
You have to stop giving him cerelac and try it after two or three monthes ,if your baby is breast Fed ,give him nothing except breast milk till he is six monthes . When he completes his six month you can try giving him fresh fruit or vegetables boiled and mashed ,try one type every week to notice any allergic reaction that may happen .
