Patient's question:
The baby girl is 3 months old. She keeps having runny poop. The village doctor said it's due to "fever" and poor digestion, and prescribed Compound Pancreatin Powder and Swinol Oral Liquid. She wasn't having diarrhea before, but now she is after taking the medicine for two more days. The runny part is still quite noticeable. What should we do?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your question is about your child's abnormal bowel movements. The cause needs to be comprehensively analyzed and differentiated, as it could be due to spleen deficiency, dampness accumulation, cold damage (Shanghan), or food stagnation. You can start with remedies that aid digestion and strengthen the spleen.Recommendation: It is recommended that you provide a detailed description of your child's accompanying symptoms and overall condition (such as cold or heat, dietary preferences, bowel and bladder function, sleep, and mental/mood status). Understanding these details will help traditional Chinese medicine practitioners better assist you in regulation. If necessary, you can also consult a TCM expert through your family doctor for a signed agreement, which can facilitate a more thorough analysis and guidance.
