Doctor's answer:
First, test the child's stool for routine examination to determine if it's indigestion or intestinal inflammation, so that targeted treatment can be administered. Additionally, extend the intervals between feedings to allow the digestive system to rest. Provide more fluids and avoid foods that are difficult to digest. It is recommended to take oral pediatric compound pancreatin powder and Bequi, with one hour between the two medications. Apply Dinggui Er abdominal patch to the navel. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, moderately reduce food intake, and prioritize a light and easily digestible diet. Provide sufficient fluids to prevent dehydration.
