Patient's question:
It started with diarrhea and indigestion when he was one year old, and I also gave him digestive tablets, but he still frequently has indigestion.Medical History and Treatment Effects:
He was once seen at a children's hospital. The medication he took was effective at the time, but his symptoms returned shortly after.
Help Needed:
I just want to know how to avoid his indigestion and diarrhea. The child has been experiencing these recurrent issues, and he has become quite thin. It breaks my heart to see him like this.
Doctor's answer:
The child's condition is likely a manifestation of intestinal dysfunction. Simply giving the child oral digestive tablets is unlikely to be effective. It is recommended to first pay attention to the cleanliness of the child's diet and to ensure the child stays warm (especially the abdomen). Regular abdominal massage can help reduce intestinal cramping and improve digestion and absorption. Additionally, oral probiotics or lactobacillus preparations can be given to support the growth of intestinal probiotics.
