Question
My child is not feeling well, and after a doctor’s diagnosis, Qipi Wan has been prescribed. What kind of medication is Qipi Wan, and what symptoms does it primarily treat?
Answer
Qipi Wan is a traditional Chinese medicine used for strengthening the spleen and stomach, and it is also used to treat childhood anorexia. For young children, common discomforts are often related to colds or gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is recommended to use warm water to soak the child’s feet twice a day for 12 minutes each time, and to perform foot massage. Additionally, after warming both hands, gently rub the child’s abdomen with moderate pressure. If hands cool down, reheat them and continue the massage for about 10 to 15 minutes.
