What should babies eat to reduce internal heat? What should babies eat to reduce internal heat?

Newborn babies are prone to getting angry because their bodies are not fully developed and are easily attacked by viruses. However, it is not good for the baby's physical development to control the fire of the newborn baby with drugs. Therefore, the best way is to reduce the fire of the baby through diet therapy. Here are some foods suitable for babies to reduce fire.

How to judge whether the baby is suffering from internal heat

1. The baby refuses to eat, is irritable, and even unwilling to drink water. Oral pain, herpes and erosions or ulcers of varying sizes can be seen on the lips, tongue and cheek mucosa.

2. The baby has gastrointestinal dysfunction, with abdominal distension and discomfort, or abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms

3. The baby is constipated and has a bowel movement every 3 to 7 days. The stool is hard and small in volume, millet-like, and the defecation process is prolonged or difficult;

4. The baby has a lot of eye mucus and red rashes on the head and face; or has dry skin and even nose bleeding.

After birth, the child's constitution is actually hot, which is what Chinese medicine calls a "pure yang body", which can easily cause symptoms of excessive yang and fire. In addition, the child's gastrointestinal digestive system is not yet perfect, which can cause food accumulation and heat, and inevitably cause internal heat. So mothers should pay attention.

How to prevent your baby from getting angry

First, the diet should be light. If the baby is suffering from internal heat, he should eat more vegetables, melons and fruits; eat less fried, roasted and baked foods, chocolate, cream and other sweets. In summer, he should also eat less hot fruits such as longan, lychee and mango.

Second, drink plenty of water. Drink boiled water in the morning to replenish the water lost at night, clean the intestines, eliminate waste, wake up the digestive system and restore overall function, clean the mouth, etc. Drink milk or eat staple food half an hour later, and drink a few sips of water after eating to clean the mouth. Some babies don't like to drink boiled water, so they can also drink some fruit juice.

Third, use medicine safely. If your baby gets angry, you must treat him/her promptly, and choose mild children's medicine.

Children's body systems are not yet fully developed, so they are inevitably threatened by some diseases. The most common one is getting angry. It is easy for adults to improve their angry body, but it is different for children. Medicines can also cause irritation, so it is best to improve it with diet therapy.
