Patient's question:
I've had diarrhea for half a month. I caught a cold a few days ago, but it's much better now. I've eaten probiotics and used two boxes of composite syringa appetite stimulant patches, but it hasn't helped. Over the past two days, I've also received three injections of Xiyaping. She has poor digestion and her stomach is always bloated. During this period, she vomited twice. She has loose stools every day, with the most being around 34 times in a day. She hasn't had a fever, but she's been sweating slightly over the past two days. She used to dislike eating, and when she went to the hospital, the doctor said she had poor digestion and advised her to cut out snacks and eat properly. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
When a baby has diarrhea, it's important to control it quickly to prevent dehydration caused by prolonged illness. The sweating you mentioned is a symptom of the child's weakness. I don't recommend giving the baby medication. You can try traditional Chinese medicine massage. The baby's gastrointestinal system is still very delicate and underdeveloped, making them prone to nausea and vomiting. Traditional Chinese medicine massage can help regulate the baby's spleen and stomach. I suggest you visit a local licensed traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to have the baby treated with acupuncture for spleen and stomach regulation. Traditional Chinese medicine massage is very effective in regulating the baby's spleen and stomach. If the baby still experiences nausea and vomiting, you can give them pepsin for children, which works very well.
