Question
A six-and-a-half-year-old child frequently experiences symptoms of indigestion, such as vomiting or diarrhea. Although the doctor diagnosed it as acute gastritis, the test results showed no abnormalities. Recently, the child’s face has appeared slightly yellowish, causing concern among the parents. They are inquiring about the possible cause and how to treat or nourish the child.
Answer
Excluding other types of inflammatory conditions, the child may be suffering from malnutrition due to chronic vomiting and diarrhea. It is recommended to focus on digestion and nutrition in the diet, develop good eating habits, reduce the intake of snacks and high-fat foods, avoid spicy foods, and consider using traditional Chinese medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach. I hope these suggestions will be helpful to you. Wishing you health.
