What kind of food should a two-year-old eat when they have poor digestion?

Patient's question:

Two-year-old babies don't eat much but have poor digestion. Eating a little more can cause indigestion, and issues like accumulation of food, colds, fever, etc. The center of their tongue is always thick, and their bridge of the nose is often bluish. Their stools are sometimes dry. Can they take probiotics to regulate their digestion? How can their condition be stabilized? They have been losing weight recently. What should they eat?

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to give the baby more vegetables and fruits on a regular basis. If the digestive problem is severe, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, this condition may be due to a disorder in the child's gastrointestinal function. It is advised to adjust the diet, focusing on light and easily digestible liquid foods, avoiding greasy and irritating foods, and paying attention to preventing colds and getting more rest. Oral probiotics can be taken to regulate the gastrointestinal function. If necessary, traditional Chinese medicine methods such as moxibustion and acupuncture can be combined for treatment.
