Question
How should one handle diarrhea and white stool in children?
Answer
It is suggested to consult a pediatrician for treatment focusing on regulating the child’s digestive system. Traditional Chinese medicine remedies such as cordyceps, alum, jujube, walnut kernels, Gardenia jasminoides, angelica sinensis, hoelen, trianthus, sambucus nigra, rhizoma cimicifugae, rutaceae root, saussurea, iron gallbladder powder, bee glue, honey, and bee wax can be used for treatment. These remedies clear stomach and intestinal dampness and heat, and rapidly repair the stomach and intestinal mucosa. There are many causes of digestive diseases in children. If a child is diagnosed with a digestive disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor to treat the condition promptly, support gastrointestinal decompression, and cultivate good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to allow their children to develop the habit of picky eating or partial eating, and ensure a balanced diet.
