Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is necessary to consider factors such as catching a cold, intestinal dysfunction, poor intestinal absorption, and inadequate supplementation. It is important not to let the child catch a cold and avoid eating cold or raw foods. Oral probiotics can be taken to improve intestinal function, restore normal function, and enhance inflammation absorption. Additionally, malnutrition can be addressed with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM can treat diseases caused by a weak spleen and stomach by taking herbs that strengthen the spleen and stomach. It is also important to prevent catching a cold and avoid foods that are difficult to digest and absorb.
