Patient's question:
Before, I bought ribs and the baby ate a lot. That night, the baby vomited once. When it was close to dawn, the baby vomited two more times. In the following days, the baby couldn't eat properly. The other night, the baby vomited in the middle of the night. In the morning, the baby had diarrhea, and it was a lot of watery stool. I didn't pay attention to it. The next morning, the baby had diarrhea again. After eating some infant diarrhea stop pellets, it didn't help. Then I took him for intravenous fluids. That day, the baby didn't have a bowel movement. The next morning, the baby had a bowel movement again. Then I gave him apples and oranges, and he had diarrhea again. Today, he also vomited. Watching him, he seems to be in pain sometimes and then feels better. What could be the reason? What should I pay attention to? Thank you.Medical history and treatment effectiveness: No specific care was given.
Assistance needed: I want to know how the baby is basically getting better, but then why is it recurring?
Doctor's answer:
Your child has symptoms of indigestion, known as "dietary stagnation" in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This is caused by excessive consumption of meat leading to disharmony between the spleen and stomach, poor appetite, and vomiting.Recommendation: It is advised to take your child to a local reputable children's hospital or pediatric department for follow-up. Physical and chemical examinations should be conducted to confirm the diagnosis and rule out other potential conditions. In terms of treatment, it is best to focus on traditional Chinese medicine-based therapies to regulate the spleen and stomach.
In daily life, moderation in meat consumption during bowel movements and proper dietary balance are essential. Daily intake of Zhibao Ding or Xingspi Yang'er Granules can help alleviate symptoms and serve as a pediatric health supplement.
