Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. If the baby has dry stools, what should they eat?Doctor's answer:
Hello, drink more water for the baby. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and give the child more bananas to promote digestion. When giving the baby formula milk, add a little glucose to it for cooling effects. Because winter has arrived, the weather is dry, and children are prone to getting hot, so you can give the baby a porridge made with Ophiopogon japonicus and pork ribs, or also give the baby kelp and pork rib soup.In your case, it may be due to yin deficiency and intestinal dryness, where the body lacks fluids, the intestines lose moisture, and the digestive function is impaired. This condition is characterized by dry and hard stools, difficulty in defecation, and symptoms of yin deficiency. It is also known as large intestine yin deficiency syndrome. If there is excessive internal heat in the intestines, you can use Bian Nai Tong Cha to treat it.
