After the fever subsides, babies may appear very tired and lack energy, and may also experience yellowing of their face, decreased appetite, bad breath, and other complications during their illness. These conditions can be seen as complications that require careful attention to regulation. So, what should I do if my baby has bad breath after the fever subsides?
1. Eat stomach nourishing and easily digestible food. During the period of fever, babies may experience certain damage to their digestive system due to the effects of medication, such as indigestion, burning in the stomach, and bad breath. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the diet. The food should be more delicate and easy to digest, such as rice soup, rice porridge, small noodles, small Mantou, etc. Try to avoid eating rice, food with stuffing, increase the pressure on the baby's stomach and intestines, which is not conducive to the recovery of gastrointestinal function after illness.
2. Rinse your mouth with diluted salt water and maintain the habit of brushing your teeth twice a day. When a baby has a fever, their dietary needs are not good, and their mouth may produce less saliva, which can breed bacteria and cause bad breath. Therefore, after the baby eats, rinse their mouth with light salt water. It is also beneficial to rinse their mouth several times a day. It is recommended to brush your teeth twice a day in the morning and evening to reduce the chance of oral bacteria growth and keep your breath fresh.
3. Reduce medication use. It is inevitable for babies to get sick, but most diseases can be improved through diet and lifestyle habits. It is not necessary to immediately think of medication, which can cause gastrointestinal dysfunction and other complications in babies.
