Question

My daughter usually has a good physique, but she has a particular tendency to have diarrhea. She doesn’t seem to eat anything that’s hard to digest, and she starts to have loose stools. It usually lasts for a day and then stops, but they are very watery. An elderly Chinese medicine practitioner said her spleen and stomach are not good. Could you please tell me about the common acupressure techniques used to treat children’s diarrhea?

Answer

If infants experience diarrhea symptoms again, acupuncture techniques can be used for treatment. If there’s a bacterial infection, it may lead to watery stools, and oral intestinal anti-inflammatory medication can be taken for medication treatment. If there are digestive issues, acupuncture can be used for treatment as well. Pay attention to light and healthy eating habits in daily life.
