Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Can nine-month-old babies drink honey water?Doctor's answer:
Due to the poor gastrointestinal barrier function in infants and young children, it is difficult for them to resist bacteria and toxins, so it should be used with caution. However, botulism caused by honey is not due to the presence of Clostridium botulinum in honey itself, but rather due to contamination during processing, transportation, storage, or . Therefore, it is best to avoid giving honey to infants under one year old. If honey cannot be thoroughly disinfected, it may have adverse effects on infants with weaker digestive systems.
