Question
A four-year-old child is suffering from persistent abdominal bloating, and the parents are inquiring about the cause and whether there is a serious issue.
Answer
The child’s abdominal bloating may be due to poor stomach Qi or weakened gastric motility. It is recommended to treat with stomach nourishment and Qi regulation as a foundation. Encourage the child to chew hawthorn slices and promote a habit of slow, thorough chewing. After meals, gently massage the abdomen in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction for about twenty circles. It is hoped that the child will grow up healthy and happy.
