What should I do if my baby has a bloated stomach and doesn't want to eat?

Patient's question:

Alright, here is the translation, following your instructions:
Now, he doesn't eat his food well. He won't eat anything you feed him. Sometimes he'll eat a few bites and then stop. He's also very picky. Now, he'll eat at most half a banana. This situation has been going on for some time. His temper isn't very good either. He sleeps until 2 or 3 in the morning and often kicks off his blankets. But he usually calms down a bit once he's given the breast milk. He wakes up around 12:00 noon.
Past Treatment and Effect: He saw a doctor before and had two injections. It worked for a few days, but then he reverted to this current state. We took him to the doctor again today. They said his stomach is bloated and suggested boiling some radish water for him to drink. They want to wait and see. If that doesn't work, they'll consider past treatments.
Help Desired: Because we know that not eating well can affect his growth and development, and his intellectual development, we are very worried. We want to ask the doctor what we should do.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! According to your description, your child's condition is mostly caused by poor spleen and stomach function, and can be regulated with Chinese medicine. Many Chinese medicines that aid digestion, strengthen the spleen, and clear internal heat can be used, such as Pinellia, Tangerine Peel, Poria, Atractylodes Rhizoma, Bovine Gallstone, Licorice, Forsythia, and Scutellaria. You can also gently massage your child's abdomen with your hands to promote gastrointestinal movement and maintain regular bowel movements.
