Question

Lately, the child has been often moody, not eating, with stomach pain, and no fever. I’m not sure what medicine to give them.

Answer

This could be due to weak spleen and stomach, and dyspepsia. The treatment should focus on strengthening the spleen and stomach, digesting food, and promoting circulation. You can give the child aJianpi San (tonifying the spleen pill) or Fat Child Pill, and also combine with spinal massage therapy. In addition, parents should assist doctors in gastrointestinal decompression and cultivate good hygiene habits. The child also needs a reasonable diet, avoiding cold or irritating foods.
