Patient's question:
Doctor,Could you please tell me if a 9-month-old baby can drink orange juice? Will it affect their teeth? Additionally, her gums have been thick for a month, and now they are slightly translucent, as if teeth are growing. Is it too slow for teething? Thank you!!!!
Doctor's answer:
No diarrhea, you can drink water with added fresh orange juice. The baby is just 9 months old, so 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 medications that regulate the spleen and stomach function, such as Jianpi Granules and Erbao Granules. Wish the baby to grow up strong and healthy.
