What should I do if my child is underweight and short?

Patient's question:

I am 36 years old this year, and recently I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. At night, I can't sleep, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. What should I do about my child being underweight and short?

Doctor's answer:

This situation may be due to weak spleen and stomach function and impaired nutrient absorption. Xiang Sha Liu Jun Wan can be used to regulate it, which may be effective. The diet should be light, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. Drink more water. For infant enteritis, oral Shanzhai Jianpi Koufuye and Smecta should be recommended. In severe cases, intravenous treatment is necessary. Extend the interval between feedings to allow the digestive system to rest. Provide more fluids. If supplementary foods are being introduced, they should be temporarily stopped or reduced. Gradually reintroduce them once the condition improves. Avoid foods that are difficult to digest, especially during recovery.
