Patient's question:
My son is 10 months old. I've noticed he often has bad breath, and recently over the past two days, I've found blood in his stool. Could he have intestinal inflammation? Because my son is taken care of by a nanny, and I heard from a colleague that intestinal inflammation is caused by poor hygiene. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, discomfort such as bad breath is generally caused by vitamin deficiencies, weakened immunity, and digestive issues. Digestive problems can also easily lead to intestinal inflammation. It is recommended to pay close attention to getting more rest in the near future, avoid staying up late, eat less spicy and irritating foods, and consume more fresh fruits and vegetables. Early and timely treatment of gingivitis and cavities is also important. When you have time, it's still a good idea to engage in outdoor activities to boost your immunity. Avoid eating excessively cold or hot foods, and avoid overeating to reduce the burden on your stomach.
