Patient's question:
Doctor,Could a 9-month-old baby drink orange juice? Will it affect their teeth? Additionally, her gums have been swollen for a month, and now they are slightly translucent, appearing like teeth. Is her teething process too slow? Thank you!!!
Doctor's answer:
No diarrhea, you can drink water added with fresh orange juice. The baby is just 9 months old, and it is not recommended to drink fresh orange juice directly to avoid it being too sweet and irritating the throat, which may cause choking. In daily life, feed the baby more foods rich in calcium, get more sun exposure to increase calcium absorption, ensure the baby gets enough sleep, and diversify the diet. If the appetite is poor, you can give the baby oral medication to regulate the spleen and stomach function, such as Jianpi Granules and Erbao Granules. Wish the baby to grow up strong and healthy.
