Patient's question:
When weaning from breast milk, we are eating Mead Johnson formula and porridge, but the baby dislikes white rice and noodles more. Recently, we've noticed that the baby doesn't sleep well at night and has bad breath. How could this be happening?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, it is considered that the baby may have weak absorption function or dietary stagnation that leads to bad breath caused by the stomach. In terms of treatment, the main focus is on enhancing gastric motility. For this condition, it is possible to let the baby take Baohe Pills or Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian. When eating, it is recommended to drink more plain water at the same time. It is also appropriate to slightly increase the amount of dinner each time and enhance the frequency of meals. This is acceptable.Since the bad breath condition is quite severe, it is advised that the patient seek timely symptomatic treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to personal care, and a proper diet should be maintained to avoid worsening the condition.
