Question
The newborn is 17 days old and has abdominal pain. Can we use Dinggui Er Navel Plaster?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby’s condition may be due to abdominal cold leading to enteritis and diarrhea. It is recommended that you take the baby for a stool test to confirm the diagnosis. After confirming enteritis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be used for treatment, and Dinggui Er Navel Plaster can be applied to the navel to enhance the therapeutic effect. At the same time, you can give the baby medications such as Shifuzi, Jianpi San, Mami Ai, and Simida to help the baby recover.
