Question
A nine-month-old girl experienced vomiting and diarrhea after consuming bone broth, leading to an appetite loss and poor spirits, accompanied by nasal congestion. She inquired whether it was appropriate to eat ice cream and what medication should be used.
Answer
The girl’s condition may be caused by digestive issues due to weak spleen and stomach, resulting in an appetite loss. It is advisable to give her some medication that strengthens the spleen and stimulates the appetite. A recommended option is the Children’s Dampness-Eliminating Powder. Additionally, you can prepare a stew of glutinous rice with hawthorn for the girl to consume, which can help strengthen the spleen and stimulate the appetite, improving her appetite loss and digestive issues.
