How to handle indigestion in a 1-year-old and 9-month-old baby

Patient's question:

The baby is now 19 months old. A few days ago, they caught a cold in their stomach, which led to indigestion, diarrhea, vomiting when eating, and poor spirits. Later, they went to a health center for moxibustion and applied a few patches of ointment. After that, the stomach stopped having diarrhea. However, two days after stopping diarrhea, there was no bowel movement. In the morning, the diaper had yellowish substance, unsure if it was blood or too yellow urine. Recently, the urine output has also decreased. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is mainly caused by previous gastrointestinal disorders and endocrine imbalances, leading to the body lacking water and fluids, which disrupts the digestive system and results in increased bowel movements and yellow urine. It is recommended to pay more attention to supplementary feeding, drink water appropriately, and observe whether the body recovers on its own. Usually, without other discomforts, the body will stabilize on its own. If there is still no bowel movement, probiotics can be used to help regulate the body.
