Newborns who have a bowel movement right after eating and are still hungry should be handled quickly.

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please advise on what to do if a newborn has diarrhea after eating and is still hungry?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be caused by an excess of stomach fire. When the stomach fire is strong, it is referred to as "stomach heat" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which indicates an issue in the regulation of internal organ qi and blood in the body. It is not a very serious condition. TCM uses the term "fire" to describe certain heat-related symptoms in the body. It is recommended to use Qingwei San (Clear Stomach Powder) with modifications for treatment. Since you have symptoms of indigestion, it is advisable to increase nutrient intake and supplement with vitamins and trace elements for nutritional support therapy. Maintain a calm mood, get adequate rest, and take the following medications: Xingspi Yang'er Keli (Invigorate Spleen and Nourish Children Granules) and Erqizhen Dan (Seven Treasures Powder for Children) for regulation.
