What causes redness around the mouth of an infant after starting cerelac?
Patient: hi doctor, my baby is now 6 months. i started giving cerelac and aptamil for him. at once we gave these things there is redness around the mouth ( places where it spills). after 10 minutes it vanishes. is he allergic to that, shall i discontinue these things. need your advice. thank you Doctor: Dear Sir/ Madam,Thank you for posting your query at healthcaremagic.comSome important points to be noted while feeding the cerelac. 1. Freshly made cerelac to be fed2. Let the child take its own time to swollow, do not worry of dribbling around the lips and chicks3. Do not wipe in between4. It should not be very hot, mild temperature.5. Once the full feed is over, then gently wipe it with little warm water and dap it.Generally with all precaution it should not cause any allergy or redness.Please feel free to consult me if you have any further query.Your thank you note is very much appreciated!With best wishes,Dr. Vishwanath Patil
