The accumulation of heat and food in babies depends on the specific situation. If there is a fire in the spleen, the baby's tongue coating will be thicker, the mouth will be bitter, the mouth and tongue will have sores, dry mouth, etc. If there is a fire in the baby's stomach, the baby's teeth and gums will be inflamed, red and swollen, bad breath, toothache, etc., and the stool will be dry. So, what should I do if my baby has accumulated heat and food?
Firstly, if a baby has accumulated food and becomes overheated, drinking a glass of water before eating can replenish the body's cells and stimulate the secretion of a large amount of digestive juices from the stomach. This can help break down and absorb food, aid digestion, and facilitate the elimination of waste from the body, thus avoiding the occurrence of food accumulation.
Secondly, it is better to give your baby vegetables as the main food to increase the intake of fiber. You can also eat some fire fighting, heat clearing and detoxification foods, such as balsam pear and snow pear. Eating some food with dietary fiber, such as sweet potato, can speed up gastrointestinal peristalsis. But it cannot be eaten when it is warm or humid, such as lychee, mango, etc., which can cause internal heat.
Another point is that when a baby has accumulated heat and food, they may not have an appetite. Do not force the baby to eat. If they cannot eat, eat small meals and light meals. Also, do not give the baby cold drinks in hot weather. If the baby eats too many cold drinks, it will cause a thermal imbalance in the baby's body. Drink plenty of warm water, pay attention to balanced diet, and gradually adjust.
