It is recommended to provide ample water and a diet consisting mainly of light, easy-to-digest foods. Chinese medicine can be used for treatment if necessary. It is suggested to combine local clinical doctor’s diagnosis with the child’s own condition for symptomatic treatment and avoid blind medication.
