Check after two days. Survival care: Preventing and treating diseases in children: Children have relatively weak spleen and stomach. Never let them eat too much; it’s easy for them to have food accumulation because they can’t digest so much. Moreover, don’t let them eat cold foods either. Eating cold foods often can lead to lung and stomach diseases. In traditional Chinese medicine and dietetics, it is said that children should be treated with ’three parts cold and three parts hunger,’ meaning don’t dress them too warmly because children are pure Yang bodies. If you dress them too warmly and they play hot and then take off their clothes, they will experience alternating cold and heat, which can lead to illness. It’s best to drink some congee every day, such as millet congee, pumpkin sweet potato congee, yam lotus seed congee, etc… These all have good effects on invigorating the Qi and strengthening the spleen.
