Question
For the past two months, the child has been unwilling to eat, only taking a little at each meal, often keeping food in their mouth without spitting it out. After a while, they would vomit. A visit to a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner revealed an accumulation of sweetness and heat in the intestines and stomach. Normally, their stool is hard and comes out in grain-like particles. They have been drinking homemade goat’s milk, and I’m not sure if that has any effect.
Answer
It’s possible that the diarrhea is a symptom of weakened spleen and stomach, which can be regulated with prepared Chinese medicine such as Xiao Er Qixing Tea. It’s important to develop good living habits, increase nutrition, and vitamins and trace elements, and avoid bad stimuli. There are many factors that can cause diarrhea in infants and young children. If the child is diagnosed with infantile diarrhea, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression (cooperate with gastrointestinal pressure reduction), and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention to not letting the child develop picky eating habits and have a balanced diet.
