Patient's question:
My daughter is one year old and has never had formed stools. Her spirit and body are normal. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: No history of intergenerational inheritance. She has taken Smecta and Chang Le Kang, but it had no effect. What kind of assistance is needed: What is the cause of this. Is it normal?Doctor's answer:
Normal bowel movements for infants and young children should be once a day or every other day, and they should be neither too dry nor too runny and well-formed. If they are relatively runny, you can give them Mimi Ai and Baby Spleen Strengthening Powder to regulate their digestion. Combine this with dietary therapy by cooking millet porridge and drinking the top layer of the broth, which is both nutritious and soothing for the stomach.Additional suggestions: You can also use acupoint patch medication therapy. The prescription includes:
- Atractylodes rhizome (Bai Zhu): 15 grams
- Evodia fruit (Wu Zhu Yu): 15 grams
- Clove (Ding Xiang): 3 grams
- Pepper (Hu Jiao): 1 gram
Usage: Grind the herbs into a fine powder, mix with enough sesame oil to form a paste, and apply it to the Shenque (CV8) acupoint. Secure it with gauze and change it once a day.
