In the daily diet of young babies, it is also necessary to reasonably increase some fresh fruit foods to ensure the various vitamins and other nutrients needed for the body's growth and development. Pineapple is a fruit with good nutritional value, but some babies may experience oral discomfort, such as tongue numbness, after eating pineapple. So, what should a baby do if they eat pineapple and their tongue feels numb?
1. The reason why babies experience tongue numbness when eating pineapple is because pineapple contains bromelain and glycosides, which have a certain stimulating effect. They can break down proteins in the human body and stimulate the mucous membranes on the mouth, lips, and tongue surface. Therefore, babies may experience tongue numbness when eating pineapple.
2. If a baby's tongue feels numb after consuming pineapple, they can mix a cup of diluted salt water to rinse their tongue, or drink a small amount of diluted salt water to alleviate the numbness. If your baby doesn't like to drink diluted salt water or doesn't like the taste of rinsing their tongue with diluted salt water, you can also let them drink some milk in moderation, which can inhibit the ability of bromelain to break down protein and quickly relieve the symptoms of tongue numbness.
3. In addition, to prevent babies from feeling tongue tingling when eating pineapples, it is important to choose ripe and fresh pineapples when purchasing. Before consumption, the pineapples should be cut into smaller pieces or small pieces, and then soaked thoroughly in diluted salt water before consumption. This not only enhances the sweet taste of pineapple, but also prevents tongue numbness after consuming pineapple.
