A. needs treatment ok. better to show to specialist always as they get the correct diagnosis. try to avoid self and extra medication that will only complicate this and create more damage to the child

A. Hello dear parent! Your doctor will know the best in this situation. Get your baby personally examined by the doctor and seek further advice. Continue to exclusively breastfeed until 6 months completion. Good luck and take care
