After the Spring Festival, some mothers find that their babies’ appetites are not very good, their meals are not delicious, and their sleep is not stable. Did they eat too much during the Spring Festival and accumulate food? What are the specific manifestations of food accumulation? Follow the editor to learn more about it today! How to tell if your baby has accumulated food? These conditions don\’t necessarily all occur at the same time, but each may help you identify your child\’s food accumulation. There are many symptoms of food accumulation, and parents can observe carefully and make good judgments. If your child has bad breath and feels that the smell in his mouth has become very strong recently, it is more likely that he has accumulated food. Children in severe cases may also vomit, and what they vomit is sour and smelly undigested food. In this case, the possibility of food accumulation should be considered. The ancients said that the stool is smelly, \”stinky like rotten eggs\”, which means that the stool smells like rotten eggs. In this case, the possibility of food accumulation should also be considered. The frequency and quality of stools change. For children with food accumulation, the frequency of stools will change and become more frequent, but each time they will be sticky, unpleasant, smelly, and may even lead to diarrhea. The odor of stool will be severe in the first few days, and then it will gradually become thinner and the smell will turn into a light fishy odor. This kind of child will also have a bloated stomach, constant gurgles, as if there is gas in the air, and will constantly pass gas and fart, which will have a stronger smell. It is very typical for the tongue coating to become thicker. In the middle part of the tongue, there is a piece of thick tongue coating as big as a coin, or the tongue coating on the entire tongue becomes thicker and greasy. At this time, you should highly suspect whether there is food accumulation. Observe the tongue coating during the dynamic process: For example, if you often look at your child\’s tongue coating, you will have an idea of ​​the child\’s usual state. However, in the past few days, you have discovered that your child\’s tongue coating has suddenly become thicker than usual. This change is of great diagnostic significance, and This kind of observation is invisible to doctors, and parents have an advantage. Some children\’s lips suddenly become very red. Some children have food accumulation and the food accumulation turns into heat. Parents will find that the child\’s lips suddenly become very red in the past few days, as if they are wearing lipstick. At this time, they should suspect that the food accumulation turns into heat. And this is also a dynamic process. The change of lip color is the most meaningful, and only parents can observe this change. The face is prone to redness. Children\’s faces are prone to redness after food accumulation. This kind of redness is often concentrated in one area, often on the right cheekbone. Some parents may think that the child scratched it themselves. , in fact, this is often a problem caused by food accumulation. Children with appetite disorders often cannot eat food and have poor appetite when they first start to accumulate food. However, if food has been accumulated for a long time and there is heat in the stomach, you may always feel hungry, but your stomach will be bloated after eating, and you will have diarrhea again soon. Children who do not sleep well at night and accumulate food tend to roll around and twist their bodies during sleep at night. Smaller children also cry when sleeping. This is what Chinese medicine calls \”disharmony in the stomach leads to restless sleep\”. Children who are prone to throat swelling and pain after catching a cold and who eat a lot of meat and accumulate food will immediately develop throat infections and tonsil swelling and pain as soon as they catch a cold. This is because the middle Jiao is blocked, the lungs and stomach do not descend, and the stagnation of heat is in the upper Jiao. Children with stomach bloating and diarrhea after meals will feel full and indigestible after meals, and then complain of stomach pain. This kind of abdominal pain will be followed by diarrhea.It will feel easier, and then after a while, the pain will return, and diarrhea will occur again, and so on. What should babies eat when they have accumulated food? 1. Burnt rice soup: After the rice is browned, cook porridge with more water. When the rice is cooked, drink soup. 3 times a day, 30-60 ml each time. Method for frying rice: Put the rice flour into a pot and stir-fry over low heat until it turns light yellow. When you smell the aroma of burnt rice, pay attention to the heat and avoid overcooking. Jiao rice soup is mainly used for diarrhea caused by food accumulation. Jiao rice is dry, so it is not suitable if there is constipation or dry stool due to food accumulation. 2. Fried chicken gizzard powder Chicken gizzard is the inner wall of chicken gizzards that is dried, fried until brown and turned into powder. It can be added when boiling water or making porridge. 3. Yam rice porridge Function: Tonify the spleen and stomach, nourish yin and nourish liquid. It is used for children who have accumulated food that cannot be eaten, eat less deliciously, lose weight, and have a yellow complexion and thin muscles. Method: Take 100 grams of dried yam tablets, 100 grams of rice or millet (corn), and an appropriate amount of sugar. Wash the rice, crush it together with yam slices, put it into a pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and make porridge. If it is inconvenient to buy dried yams at the pharmacy, you can buy fresh yams in the supermarket. In addition to making porridge, yam can also be fried and eaten. It tastes slimy, but the effect is also good. 4. White radish porridge Function: Opens the chest, smoothes the Qi, and strengthens the stomach.
