Question
The two-year-old child has been eating normally recently, but suddenly developed a refusal to eat, accompanied by one episode of vomiting and several times of coughing at night, and occasionally expresses abdominal discomfort. The parents have tried giving the child stomachic and digestant tablets and the Seven Stars Tea, but the effect is not good. How should we deal with this?
Answer
Problem Analysis: The child may be weak in constitution, especially with poor Spleen and stomach function, which leads to vomiting upon improper eating. Recommended Measures: After vomiting, it is not advisable to give food immediately. Allow the child to rest for a while and provide light fluid or semi-fluid foods. Avoid giving cold and greasy foods. Consider taking ginger sugar water or oral ginger juice, ginger slices, etc., and pay attention to keeping warm to avoid catching a cold. Traditional Chinese medicine can be taken with Zhongzhong Wan, and it is also recommended to use probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal tract.
