Question
The child has been crying and not eating much recently. What should I do if my baby has diarrhea for five months?
Answer
The situation you described may be caused by spleen deficiency and dampness. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach, such as Shen Ling Bai Zhu Powder, Jian Pi Powder, and Huoxiang Zheng Qi Pill. At the same time, avoid eating spicy, cold, and greasy foods; the diet should be light and easy to digest. Moreover, this season is a high incidence period for enteritis. It is suggested to drink more water, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, and try to eat more light foods. If the condition does not improve, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a routine stool examination.
