Question
If a child has a bowel movement four or five times a day, with diarrhea that resembles thin porridge and contains water, how long will it take for this condition to improve?
Answer
When a child exhibits a lack of appetite, it’s important to consider several factors: 1. If the child has a tendency towards picky eating or anorexia, it may be due to a deficiency of zinc, a trace element. In this case, it’s important to check the level of zinc and consider supplementation. 2. If symptoms of weakness in the spleen and stomach are observed, it may be due to food accumulation and indigestion. In such cases, using medication to regulate the spleen and stomach is crucial. Additionally, changing the type, texture, and appearance of the diet can help stimulate the child’s appetite, or satisfy their preferences for the color of food.
