Question
Two-year-old child’s anus and mouth are red, stool is dry; how to handle frequent colds?
Answer
Such symptoms in children are often due to dyspepsia or gastrointestinal issues. You can give the child pediatric Qizhen pills or Jinduanshi. Pay more attention to giving the child plenty of water. You can also dissolve some infant honey in water for the child to drink. Additionally, regularly massaging the child’s abdomen can also help with treatment and recovery. If the child doesn’t like to drink water, you can juice fruits for them to drink more juice, make vegetables into puree for them to eat, and add some yam and pumpkin fibrous foods when eating congee to promote bowel movement.
