開奶茶有助開胃消滯？
二寶媽：「我大仔兩歲多，新年期間帶他到處拜年吃了很多，這兩天他變得無胃口，可能是吃滯了，聽說『開奶茶』可以開胃消滯，應該如何服用？」
CheckCheckCin：小朋友更重要還是由飲食習慣開始，可以先餵以粥仔，另外雪糕、薯片、餅乾等零食要避免，以適量自制啫喱或乾果替代，或飲米水以減輕脾胃負擔。水果可以適量進食有消滯功效的菠蘿。「開奶茶」是坊間常見的嬰幼兒涼茶，主要成份為粟米芯、薏米、燈芯草、穀芽、麥芽等，有助清熱消滯，適合因為飲食過量或脾胃積熱的嬰幼兒飲用。建議家長們挑選沒有額外加入糖的「開奶茶」。如脾胃虛弱、容易腹瀉的嬰幼兒飲用，可能會加重症狀。是藥毒三分，如果父母未能掌握他們的體質，建議諮詢註冊中醫師為宜，以免服用不合適的中藥延誤病情。

CheckCheckCin: It is important to take care of children health from choosing the right food intake and try starting with some congee. Try to avoid ice cream, chips, and biscuit snacks, replacing those with home-made jelly or dried fruit, and have rice water to reduce the burden on the spleen and stomach. Fruits like pineapple can helps to relieve indigestion when consumed in moderation. Infant digestive milk supplement is a commonly sold herbal tea for infants and the main ingredients are corn cob, coix seed, juncaceae, malt, rice sprouts. It helps to clear heat and aid digestion, suitable for infants who over ate or have heat stagnated in spleen and stomach. We suggest parents choose sugarless formulas.
