Patient's question:
Diarrhea, yellow stool with white clumps, and mucus. About ten bowel movements per day, passing gas and loose stools, sometimes it's all watery. This has been frequent recently. Duration of illness: From birth to now, I've noticed it's different from before.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a child has diarrhea, it's important to first determine whether it's an acute infectious disease, such as food poisoning or norovirus infection. If the diarrhea is accompanied by fever, it is absolutely not advisable to treat it at home. In such cases, it is recommended that the child seek medical attention promptly.If the child is experiencing recurrent diarrhea without other symptoms, it may be due to weakened gastrointestinal function. In this situation, you can strengthen the spleen and stomach with herbal remedies. In dietary therapy, foods like Chinese yam and lentils can be included. Additionally, the "nailing the spine" method () can be used to regulate and strengthen the child's spleen and stomach function, as well as their gastrointestinal function. Once the spleen and stomach function is restored, this can help alleviate the diarrhea.
