Patient's question:
The child's tongue is now red and purple, with thick and greasy coating, slightly yellow. The stool is a pile of greasy and sticky substance, suggesting internal heat. Can Shibe Paste be used to regulate the spleen and stomach? Is there a risk of exacerbating the fire?First follow-up question: The child's appetite has significantly declined, eating less than before. Previously, they had a very good appetite and never picky about food.
Which is more suitable for the condition: Wangshi Baoci Pills or Shibe Paste?
Doctor's answer:
Based on the situation you described above, it is also possible that it is caused by indigestion. I suggest taking your child to a regular public hospital for pediatric consultation and examination to identify the cause and provide appropriate treatment. If the baby has a sensitive stomach, it is more prone to experiencing "internal heat" (). In terms of diet, choose foods that clear heat and promote diuresis, such as white radish, tomato, lotus root powder, cooked mung beans, or cooked Job's tears porridge. Fruits like hawthorn and pear are also suitable. Additionally, drink plenty of plain water. You can also give your baby some Yitong probiotics to effectively regulate the intestinal system and improve the condition of "internal heat."
