Patient's question:
At around six months, I noticed a map-like tongue. Previously, the diet had been quite normal. A week ago, I accidentally ate a Green Arrow chewing gum. Three days later, I had some cold and fever symptoms. Applying two "Fever Reducing Patches" was ineffective, so I took "Wangshi Baoci Pills" twice, and the cold symptoms disappeared. At the same time, I started experiencing symptoms of not wanting to eat dinner again, always saying I wasn't hungry, and only eating a little bit each day or about one pound of milk. Today, I've also started experiencing bad breath, cracks on the upper lip (the cracks are white and particularly hard, with only a tiny amount of broken skin), minimal broken skin on the gums, and toothache when eating. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The phenomenon of a child's bad breath is caused by poor digestion. It's recommended to feed the child small, frequent meals and eat warm food. If they accidentally swallow gum, it will come out with their stool, but they should be careful in the future not to eat such things. At the same time, you can appropriately give the child some digestive Vitamin C. Take Shanmai Jianpi San for treatment and then wait and see. The daily treatment for patients with bad breath mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. The patient can take many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to a regular schedule, avoiding alcohol.
