Patient's question:
A two-month-old baby seems to have a food stagnation issue. What should I do? The baby often suffers from constipation, sometimes going a few days without a bowel movement, and other times having one every two or three days. The tongue is thick and white, the baby frequently catches colds, and there is an acidic taste in the mouth. The baby often spits up and dribbles milk, and sleeps restlessly during the day but sleeps well at night. Is this a case of food stagnation? How should I address food stagnation?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, here is the reply: If the accumulation is caused by long-term indigestion, leading to an imbalance of intestinal flora in the baby, you can give the baby many children's probiotics for regulation. At the same time, help the baby push down the abdomen in a clockwise direction more often. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine is also a good choice, such as Xiao'er Jianwei Xiaoshi Koufuye (Children's Digestive Aid Oral Liquid), Xiao'er Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian (Children's Digestive Aid Tablets), Xiao'er Qi Zhen Dan (Children's Seven Treasures Pill), Xiao'er Xiang Ju Dan (Children's Fragrant Orange Pill), and Xiao'er Ji Nei Jin (Children's Chicken Gizzard Pill) and other traditional Chinese medicines.
