Which Department Should a Child with Sticky Stools Visit?

Question

My child has been crying and restless recently, with sticky stools. Even after going to the hospital for checks, there are no results. Which department should I visit?

Answer

Based on your description, your child may have enteritis. It is recommended that you take your child for a colonoscopy and also consider seeking help from a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Traditional Chinese medicine like Liu Junzi Decoction and Li Zhong Decoction may help improve symptoms. Additionally, the child may be vomiting due to indigestion, so it is advisable to provide light, easy-to-digest food and plenty of water. You can also give the child traditional Chinese patent medicines and Xingpi Yang’er Granules to regulate the gastrointestinal tract.
