Question
My child is 1 year old and throws up everything they eat. They also often take naps during the day. What could be the cause of this? I’m eager to know how to resolve this. What was the situation and effectiveness of previous treatments? What kind of help is needed after being given fluids? Please tell me what’s going on.
Answer
It is recommended to have a urine test to determine if it’s a viral or bacterial infection. In traditional Chinese medicine, pediatric acupuncture can be used, including pushing on the seven vertebrae, massaging the abdomen, rubbing the navel, reinforcing the spleen meridian, moving earth into water, and applying moxibustion to the abdomen (or using Dinggui Er Navel Plasters). Try to eat more warm foods. I hope this helps. Doctor’s Inquiry: Have they been eating things randomly, such as extremely cold or junk food? Have they been eating too much variety or too much food?
