Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric digestive disorders includes:1. Proper dietary adjustments: Feed the child easily digestible foods, such as rice porridge and well-cooked noodles.
2. Medication: Western medicine often chooses probiotics, such as Mimi Ai and Jinduangui.
3. If the main symptom is diarrhea: Choose traditional Chinese medicine that strengthens the spleen and stops diarrhea, such as Poria, Atractylodes macrocephala, Coix seed, and Chinese yam.
4. If the child has loose stools and abdominal distension: Choose medications that strengthen the spleen and regulate qi.
5. For pediatric food stagnation: Choose Baohe Pill for treatment.
Master the correct educational methods and cultivate good eating habits. Build a good doctor-patient relationship to let the child understand their condition, recognize the risks, and establish confidence in treatment. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the child’s recent medication history.
For functional digestive disorders, the effectiveness of medication is often unsatisfactory. Currently, no specific drug can completely relieve the symptoms. Adjusting food types, maintaining a reasonable dietary structure, and establishing good lifestyle habits are essential. Avoid pickiness, eat in moderation, and reduce the intake of cold and raw foods.
