Question

My 4-year-old child has stomach pain and has been having diarrhea for the past few days. Today, they haven’t had a bowel movement, but the stomach pain persists. The child has taken some digestive aids. The pain is located around the navel. What should I do?

Answer

Based on your description, it could be due to eating something bad or intestinal inflammation. It’s recommended not to let the child eat cold or raw foods, try to eat smaller, more frequent meals, and consider moxibustion or massage around the navel. Additionally, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it’s advisable to take the child to see a doctor as soon as possible.
