Question
My son is only 19 months old and has only grown 7.5 teeth; is it because of cold milk? After he turned one year old and weaned him off breast milk, the milk is not enough, and he coughs, runs around, screams, cries, and vomits. What should I do?
Answer
The child indeed has disharmony in the spleen and stomach, as well as gastrointestinal motility disorder. It is not recommended to take oral medication again to avoid further burdening the gastrointestinal tract. It is suggested that the child undergoes massage by a traditional Chinese medicine department, which can regulate the spleen and stomach, enhance the child’s resistance, and gradually improve symptoms. If the situation involves calcium supplementation, it is recommended to take cod liver oil rich in vitamin A and get adequate sun exposure. Vitamin D supplements, vitamin A, and vitamin D help with calcium absorption and utilization. It is suggested to drink hawthorn tea in moderation.
