Question

My child has been crying a lot recently and doesn’t eat much. What could be causing a 1.5-year-old baby to constantly have diarrhea?

Answer

Hello, diarrhea is usually caused by a disrupted spleen and stomach. I suggest trying moxibustion, but it takes time to see results, usually three days before there is a noticeable improvement. Additionally, the baby should wash hands before meals; wash hands immediately after touching meat and eggs; and avoid long nails. The symptoms you describe might be gastroenteritis, which can be treated with Huoxiang Zhengqi pills and fluoxetine capsules. Pay attention to drinking plenty of water, maintaining electrolyte balance, and in severe cases, consider fluid supplementation.
