How to treat bad breath in newborns?

Patient's question:

It seems like there's a slightly sour taste in my mouth, like yogurt. But it's not as strong as yogurt; it's mild. Is this because of residual milk from newborns spitting up?

Doctor's answer:

First, it is recommended to check if the child's bad breath may be caused by indigestion. It is advisable to see a doctor. If indigestion is the cause, it is suggested to take Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye and Huoxiang Chongji for a try, which should improve. Additionally, the child can eat more vegetables, fruits, and foods with high water content, while reducing the intake of spicy foods. Drinking water at regular intervals is also important. However, it is still necessary to carefully check if the bad breath is caused by cavities.
