Question
I recently noticed that my baby has bad breath. They have been weaned, eat three meals a day, and have one bottle of formula at night. Their stools have been dry, and they occasionally have bloating. Are there any good ways to solve the problem of bad breath and bloating?
Answer
Bad breath and bloating may be caused by an imbalanced diet. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, drink plenty of water, and consume a balanced intake of high-quality proteins such as fish, meat, and eggs. Increasing outdoor activity time can also promote digestion. Avoiding fussy eating, reducing snacks, cold drinks, and beverages is also advisable. Consider taking probiotics to adjust the intestinal flora, but the fundamental solution is to adjust the diet structure. If abdominal pain is severe, a detailed examination should be conducted, such as an abdominal ultrasound, to rule out other potential issues.
