Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. Is it effective to use Xiao Er Ci Pian for dry stools?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be due to deficiency of fluids in the intestines and dryness, characterized by loss of fluid, lack of moisture in the intestines, impaired transmission, and primarily manifested as dry and hard stools, difficulty defecating, and symptoms of fluid deficiency. It is also known as the syndrome of deficiency of fluids in the large intestine. Excessive internal heat in the intestines can be treated with Bian Nai Tong Cha. If the infant has difficulty defecating, it is often related to overly refined breast milk. Massaging the infant's abdomen more frequently, and feeding them properly ripe vegetable paste or mashed bananas can promote defecation. It is recommended that you try to regulate it, and if necessary, seek a detailed examination from a pediatrician.
