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-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what could be the reason for an increased frequency of bowel movements in children?Doctor's answer:
A five-month-old child has been experiencing an increase in bowel movements and some bloating in the abdomen recently. The child also appears a bit pale and unwell. It's important to keep the abdomen warm, as the child has a deficiency in the spleen. Taking some Shenling Bai Zhu San for treatment can help, or probiotics can also be used. Food should be eaten warm and in regular amounts. It's considered that the child may have indigestion, which can generally be treated with medication. Oral pediatric Jianpi Granules and Mamai Ai can be tried. Avoid letting the child eat raw, cold, or irritating foods, and focus on eating easily digestible foods. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the abdomen can also be helpful. Wishing the baby a speedy recovery.
