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 compound syzygium appetite-stimulating patches, but they haven'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 a maximum of about 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 the baby has diarrhea, it's important to control it quickly to prevent dehydration caused by prolonged illness. The sweating you mentioned is a sign of the child's weak constitution, and 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.
