Is it Suitable to Use Dinggui’er Stomach Plaster for a 17-Day-Old Baby?

Question

The baby is only 17 days old and has abdominal pain. Can we use Dinggui’er Stomach Plaster?

Answer

According to the description, the child may have developed enteritis and diarrhea due to abdominal cold. It is recommended to undergo a stool test for confirmation. Once diagnosed with enteritis, antibiotic treatment should be administered to ensure complete healing. Medications such as Shifuzi, Jiaoyang San, MamiAi, Simida can be considered. Additionally, using the Dinggui’er Stomach Plaster to apply on the navel can assist in treatment, achieving good results.
