How to care for a child with an upset stomach

Patient's question:

The child is 1 year and 7 months old. They might have had some stomach discomfort these last couple of days, didn't sleep well at night, kept waking up crying, and seemed listless and lacking energy during the day. Their tongue is white. Can they take Jin Sha Xiao Shi Kou Fu Ye (Jin Sha Digest Aid Oral Liquid)? Is the side effect of this medicine significant? Is it safe for such a young child? Is it appropriate?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you mentioned, have you taken his temperature recently? Is there any fever, nausea, vomiting, or dry heaving? Based on what you've said, this medication is a traditional Chinese medicine, primarily used for strengthening the spleen and aiding digestion. It generally has no significant side effects. If you have stomach discomfort, nausea and vomiting caused by indigestion can also be relieved by taking this medication.
