Question

The child has been overeating and snacking continuously, leading to poor digestive function and recently showing signs of indigestion. How should we deal with this?

Answer

Indigestion may cause an unpleasant taste in a child’s mouth. Here are several methods to alleviate indigestion:

  1. Consume Hawthorn: Eating a moderate amount of hawthorn can promote gastric secretion, aid in digestion, and increase appetite; however, due to its high sugar content, it should not be consumed long-term or in large quantities.
  2. Balanced Diet: Establish regular meal times and portions for the child, choosing easily digestible porridge and noodles, and reducing difficult-to-digest meats.
  3. Take Digestive Medicine: Under medical guidance, appropriate use of digestive medicine can help alleviate the symptoms of indigestion.
