How to deal with bad breath in a five-month-old baby?

Patient's question:

Recently, the baby has had bad breath for almost a week. I don't know what's wrong. A few days ago, I thought it was caused by a cold. Now the cold is better, but the bad breath hasn't gone away. What's going on?

Doctor's answer:

Halitosis refers to the unpleasant odor emitted from a person's mouth that others find repulsive. In babies, this condition is often a symptom of indigestion. It is recommended to take some digestive aids such as Jianpi San (a traditional Chinese herbal formula for strengthening the spleen) and probiotics to alleviate the issue. Halitosis is a condition that is not easily cured. Friends suffering from this should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism, as this can only boost their confidence in combating halitosis.
