Patient's question:
My baby is now 11 months old, and his main diet consists of formula milk and porridge. Over the past two days, after each feeding, there is a strong milky smell coming from his mouth. Sometimes, when he plays, a little milk also leaks out. Otherwise, everything is normal. Is this a sign of poor digestion? How can I help with digestion?Doctor's answer:
Indigestion can be alleviated by consuming probiotics to help regulate the digestive system. Peefikang Powder is a good choice, as it contains natural probiotics without side effects and has a pleasant taste that babies don't resist.Suggestions:
1. Cultivate the habit of maintaining good oral hygiene in children from a young age, ensuring they rinse their mouths after meals and brush their teeth in the morning and evening.
2. Maintain a regular diet. Eat more vegetables and fruits, balance coarse and fine grains, and avoid pickiness or partiality in eating. Do not overeat.
3. Prevent indigestion. When indigestion occurs, you may take appropriate digestive aids or gastrointestinal motility medications.
4. Pay attention to prevention and timely treatment of dental caries and misaligned teeth. Eat less sugary foods, especially avoid them before bed.
5. Use a decoction of Chinese herbal medicines such as reed root, mint, and patchouli, or 1% hydrogen peroxide, 2% baking soda solution, or 2% boric acid solution, and choose one to rinse the mouth. This can help reduce or eliminate bad breath.
