Question
Dear doctor! My child is five years old and must have eaten something wrong because they’ve been experiencing diarrhea for the past few days. I’m also hesitant to take her to see a doctor because the doctor usually prescribes Western medicine. However, there’s no Traditional Chinese Medicine clinic nearby. So, I’m not sure what Chinese medicine to give my child for diarrhea.
Answer
I’m glad to help you with your question: Based on your description, your child’s diarrhea may be caused by improper diet. You can give your child Enterosan syrup, which is a medication with traditional Chinese medicine ingredients. Additionally, you can also give your child probiotics to help restore intestinal health. Moreover, you can try using external application of traditional Chinese medicine for symptomatic treatment. During the treatment period, be sure to pay attention to your child’s diet and maintain a reasonable eating habit. I hope your child’s symptoms can improve quickly and grow up healthy and happy.
