What to do about diarrhea caused by indigestion?

Patient's question:

My daughter is eight months old. She has stomach pain and diarrhea. A stool test revealed that it was caused by indigestion. The doctor applied a topical ointment and prescribed medication. Her stomach pain has now subsided, but her diarrhea persists. It has been several days.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the baby has symptoms of abdominal pain and diarrhea, which is likely related to the digestive issues you mentioned, possibly linked to weak spleen and stomach according to traditional Chinese medicine.
Advice: It is recommended that parents first focus on feeding the baby as much as possible. When breastfeeding, the mother should try to eat less and avoid exposing the baby to cold or irritation. It is important to take the child to the hospital for pediatric treatment promptly. If there are symptoms of diarrhea, after a doctor's diagnosis, active use of medications such as Xingspi Yang'er Chongji and Sanlian Huo Jiaonang can be considered.
