Question
Why does my child have so many bowel movements every day? He also seems to be in low spirits. What should I do?
Answer
Your child may be experiencing digestive system issues, which could be related to his dietary habits or gastrointestinal function. You can try giving him some digestive aids, such as pancreatin powder, bifidobacteria, or pediatric gastrointestinal health supplements, and observe if there is any improvement. Additionally, regular abdominal massage and tui na (form of Chinese manual therapy) can help alleviate symptoms of indigestion. If the problem persists, it is recommended that you take your child to see a doctor for a more professional diagnosis and treatment.
