What should I do if my baby has a gap in his front teeth? How to correct the gap between the front teeth?

Question 1: My baby is ten months old and is in the teething stage. Recently, I found that the distance between her two upper front teeth is a bit wide. I looked at it and it was about 1.5 mm. Is this normal? Dr. Yu Jiangqi answered: There are no strict requirements for this. Generally, it does not exceed five millimeters. 1.5 millimeters is not considered wide and it does not matter. Many children will have this situation when their teeth first grow. As other teeth grow, the situation will gradually improve, especially after the teeth are replaced, most of them can grow well. If the gap is really wide, you can go to the dentist to check the cause and receive symptomatic treatment such as orthodontic treatment. Question 2: My two-year-old baby has a fever and has indigestion and mild diarrhea after taking anti-inflammatory drugs. Can I add lactase when drinking milk powder? He often suffers from indigestion and anorexia. Do you have any good suggestions? Can probiotics be taken for a long time? Dr. Zhu Xiwei’s answer: If you take it frequently, you can add lactase, and you can stop taking it after a week. In daily life, you need to stop eating snacks and eat on time. If you don\’t eat at meal time, you have to wait until the next meal time to eat. This way, you can usually adjust in two weeks. It is not recommended to take any medicine for a long time. A reasonable diet is the best way to adjust it. Question 3: My baby is one and a half years old. He slipped while walking and bumped his lip and it started to bleed. How should he be cared for? Or wait for self-healing? Will my baby\’s recovery be affected if he keeps licking his lips? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: It usually takes 5-7 days to recover. No special care is needed. Just pay attention to hygiene. Saliva has a disinfecting effect and does not affect healing.
