Question

My baby was eating well about ten months ago, but ever since then, he has been reluctant to eat and always has diarrhea. What’s going on?

Answer

Infants may experience diarrhea and reduced appetite due to imbalances in gastrointestinal function or endocrine regulation. It is recommended that parents allow the child to rest, maintain a light and easy-to-digest diet, and administer probiotics andJianpi San (a traditional Chinese medicine) for treatment. At the same time, ensure the child consumes enough water to promote a healthy recovery.
