You can give the baby some patent medicine for conditioning, such as Xiao Chai Hu Granules combined with Fritillaria and Loquat Syrup, using one-third of the adult dosage, three times a day. Wait and see after two days.Nursing Care for Children:
Preventing and Treating Illness in Children: Children naturally have weaker spleens and stomachs, so never overfeed them, as it can easily lead to food stagnation. Their bodies cannot digest such large amounts of food. Additionally, avoid letting them eat cold foods. Regularly consuming cold foods can easily lead to lung and stomach problems. Traditional Chinese Medicine dietary therapy emphasizes treating children with "three parts cold and three parts hunger," meaning avoid dressing them too warmly, as children have a pure yang constitution. If you dress them too warmly, they may overheat while playing and, upon removing their clothes, experience alternating hot and cold, making it difficult for their bodies to adjust and leading to illness.
It is best to drink some porridge daily, such as millet porridge, pumpkin and sweet potato porridge, or yam and lotus seed porridge, etc. These are all excellent for boosting qi and strengthening the spleen.
