How to deal with a 7-year-old child who frequently has diarrhea?

Patient's question:

Dinner was normal, but I vomited at night with a sizzling smell, as if it was cold. I vomited a lot, and then on the third day, I had diarrhea. It wasn't frequent—usually just one to two times a day.
Past Treatment and Effects: I took medications like Smecta and Intestinal Recovery, and they helped for a while, but the symptoms returned after a few days. It keeps coming back. I'm worried that if this continues for a long time, it might lead to colitis!
Desired Help: I would appreciate it if you could suggest some effective treatment plans.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your child's condition is a common case of infantile diarrhea, which requires timely treatment, otherwise it can easily lead to malnutrition and dehydration.
Recommendation: It is recommended to use the method of TCM massage for treatment. Sometimes, relying solely on medication may not be very effective. You can go to a local TCM hospital and find a good acupuncturist for acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture is very effective for conditions like infantile diarrhea. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
