Patient's question:
On Thursday, the baby has bad breath and poor digestion. This issue has occurred before, and it was already improving. However, in recent days, the breath has become very foul, and the appetite has significantly decreased.Previous Treatment and Effects:
This issue was previously seen by a private pediatrician, who resolved it. The private doctor prescribed medications in small bags, but the exact drugs were unknown. The People's Hospital prescribed gastric protein, but it had little effect.
Help Needed:
What should be done about the baby's bad breath and poor digestion? What medications should be taken? The previously prescribed gastric protein also had little effect.
Doctor's answer:
Children's bad breath is generally caused by stomach fire and gastrointestinal dysfunction, referring to inflammation where excessive stomach heat turns into fire. It typically manifests as bad breath, restlessness with easy hunger, and constipation. You can give them some Clear Fire Treasure to nourish the body. During medication, it's important to drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those rich in fiber like oats, buckwheat, and cornmeal. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and don't let the child eat snacks.
