Patient's question:
The baby's health condition was previously good. Recently, he has had bad breath, doesn't want to eat, and doesn't have good spirits. He sleeps well at night but starts crying intermittently. This has been happening repeatedly. His deep sleep has always been poor. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
So young a baby experiencing bad breath again, according to traditional Chinese medicine, is caused by excessive stomach fire, not by oral inflammation. It is recommended to take the child to see a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. You can use Niuhuang Qingwei Wan and Huanglian Shangqing Wan, and encourage the child to drink more water. If the child has poor sleep, check if they are calcium-deficient, as calcium-deficient babies often exhibit poor sleep as a secondary symptom.In addition to medication for treating bad breath, the patient should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as maintaining a light diet and encouraging outdoor activities. At the same time, the patient should pay attention to choosing a professional hospital for treatment to achieve better therapeutic effects.
