Question
Why does my child refuse to eat and have diarrhea? During the first three months, they were fine with eating, but then they started not wanting to eat anything and kept having diarrhea. Is this serious now? Will it affect the child’s gastrointestinal function in the future? How did this condition develop? Is it because of overfeeding? Every time I make food for my baby, they only eat a few bites no matter what. When will this get better? Do I need to keep taking digestive medicine? Moreover, they also have trouble at night and keep moving around. I’m quite worried, and thank you for your suggestions. My daughter has had a cold for over a week, and the last cold lasted almost a month without fully recovering, but she has been in good spirits and very lively.
Answer
If your child experiences indigestion, it will not affect their future gastrointestinal function, as their digestive system is still developing and may experience constipation or diarrhea again. You can give them some intestinal probiotics to nourish their gut flora. If your child has a cold, they should have a blood test to determine whether it is caused by bacteria, viruses, or mycoplasma, and then implement targeted solutions. Simply giving them cold medicine can only relieve their symptoms.
