Question
What should I do if my baby, who is 1 year and 8 months old, always has digestive discomfort?
Answer
Considering the symptoms, it’s more likely to be acute enteritis. Treatment for childhood diarrhea includes abdominal plaster and probiotic powders. Abdominal plaster is used to invigorate the spleen, warm the middle burner, disperse coldness, and stop diarrhea, suitable for treating children’s diarrhea and abdominal pain. The usage is to apply the plaster externally to the navel, with one plaster per time, and change the plaster once every 24 hours. Probiotic powders are suitable for conditions such as dysbiosis caused by illness or antibiotics, as well as decreased resistance in children and infants, and symptoms such as poor food digestion and absorption, nausea, and vomiting due to intestinal flora disorder. Take one to two times a day, one packet each time, dissolved in an adequate amount of warm water or milk. In addition, anti-diarrheal granules are used for clearing heat, detoxifying, and promoting diuresis and stopping diarrhea. The dosage is to take with hot water; for children under 5 years old, take 2.5 grams per time, and for those over 5 years old, take 5 grams per time. Take three times a day.
