Question
The baby has recently been experiencing poor digestion, with halitosis and a reduced appetite. What should be done?
Answer
The baby’s halitosis and poor digestion may be caused by excessive stomach fire or dysfunction in the digestive system. It is recommended to give the baby some fire-clearing and nourishing medicine, such as Qinghuo Bao, and increase fluid intake. Encourage the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those rich in fiber like oatmeal, barley, and corn flour. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, and reduce the intake of snacks.
