Patient's question:
Often having stomach pain, sometimes having four or five bowel movements a day, without going to the hospital, just went to our local clinic. When I saw him, he said it was cold. The medicine he took was Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian, Lactic Acid Element Pian, and Qipi Wan. How do hospitals check for conditions like this? Now, it's just stomach pain and not wanting to eat.Doctor's answer:
According to the child's symptoms, traditional Chinese medicine initially considers it to be spleen deficiency and indigestion. The child often experiences recurrent abdominal pain, primarily around the navel area, accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, loss of appetite, and loose, foul-smelling stools. This condition may sometimes be associated with parasitic diseases. It is recommended to get more rest and avoid overexertion. In terms of diet, opt for easily digestible foods. Avoid spicy and greasy foods. Do not consume fatty or overly salty foods. Eggs and beef should be avoided for the time being. The diet should be kept light and simple. Additionally, it is advised that the child visit the gastroenterology department for a thorough examination, starting with a stool test. It is also recommended to administer Bao He oral liquid for treatment.
