Question

Recently, my child has been pooping yellowish stools after eating egg yolk, and they are constantly crying and restless. Even after going to the hospital for checks, the cause has not been found. What could be the matter?

Answer

This situation could be due to indigestion. It is recommended to give the child some medication orally, such as Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid and Huoxiang Decoction or Suiwei Puyi Granules, and to perform clockwise massage on their abdomen, which can help alleviate digestive issues and relieve constipation. Additionally, parents should pay attention not to let the child be picky or have a preference for certain foods. They should maintain a balanced diet and develop good hygiene habits. If the child’s digestive problem is diagnosed, parents should cooperate with the doctor for treatment and take measures such as gastrointestinal decompression.
