Patient's question:
Is the obesity of a 12-year-old child related to frequent flatulence or to what they eat? Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment Desired help: Ask what the reason isDoctor's answer:
If the child is relatively overweight, it may be worth considering whether they have a constitution of spleen deficiency and dampness excess. In cases of spleen deficiency and dampness excess, dampness invades the large intestine, which can lead to recurring discomfort such as flatulence. It is recommended to consume less green vegetables, beans, and yogurt, as well as other gas-producing foods, in daily life. The mother should pay attention to her own diet, and if necessary, can use medications like simethicone to help alleviate symptoms. Wishing the child a healthy growth.
