Patient's question:
Is the obesity of a 12-year-old child related to frequent flatulence or to what they eat? Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment Desired help: Ask what the reason isDoctor's answer:
If the child is relatively overweight, it may be worth considering whether they have a constitution of spleen deficiency and dampness excess. When there is spleen deficiency and dampness excess, dampness invades the large intestine, which can lead to recurring discomfort such as flatulence. It is recommended to consume less green vegetables, beans, and yogurt, which are prone to causing gas, in daily life. The mother should pay attention to her own diet, and if necessary, she can use medications like simethicone to help alleviate the symptoms. Wishing the child a healthy growth.
