Patient's question:
Hello everyone, my baby is 11 months old. Recently, she hasn't been feeling well and has had a stomachache for 3 days. She had 2 to 3 bowel movements the past two days and 4 to 5 today. The stool is yellow and a bit watery. We haven't taken her to the hospital yet for a check-up. What could be the reason? We are eating very well, and we pay close attention to keeping her warm. Could it be that she's eating too much? We have three meals a day and an afternoon snack, and she also eats at night. We have given her Juke, and she has been vomiting a lot these days. However, the baby is in good spirits. Why is she vomiting? What could be the cause? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the condition of the child is considered to be indigestion or a cold in the abdomen that has caused diarrhea, resulting in loose stools and frequent bowel movements.In such cases, it is recommended to keep the abdomen warm, drink more water, and avoid dehydration. Additionally, active treatment with medications that strengthen the spleen and stomach should be pursued. I suggest taking oral medications such as Ji Nei Jin San (Chicken Gizzard Powder), Jian Pi San (Spleen Strengthening Powder), Simida, and Mamai. For external use, apply Ding Gui Er Ni Tie (Ding Gui Child Navel Patch) to the navel to achieve a good effect.
