What should I do if the baby refuses to eat porridge?

Patient's question:

Baby, I haven't been eating dinner recently, only drinking porridge, and even drinking less milk. Sometimes I have a bowel movement once a day, and sometimes twice. Three days ago, I had loose stools, but when I asked if he was uncomfortable, he said no! I don't know what's wrong. No matter how I try to comfort him, he just won't eat?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the symptoms you described of the child, it is considered indigestion, which is related to diet and exposure to cold, and is not very serious. Generally, restricting diet, eating small meals frequently, consuming light food, and paying attention to abdominal warmth can help stabilize the condition. If necessary, probiotics can be used for treatment. If the child does not want to eat, do not force him; you can let him skip a meal or take some herbs that strengthen the spleen and aid digestion. It is recommended to use medication under the guidance of a doctor.
