Patient's question:

The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What should a 16-month-old constipated child eat?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, it is related to spleen and stomach deficiency. You can take the Chinese herbal medicine Sìmó Tāng kǒuyòu yè to regulate it. Careful nursing, meticulous care, light diet, and plenty of water should be maintained, while avoiding adverse stimuli. Your condition may be gastrointestinal bleeding. Generally, bleeding of 50ml or more can cause black stools. It is recommended to undergo an endoscopy or colonoscopy to confirm the diagnosis before starting symptomatic treatment.
