Patient's question:
Doctor, the patient is my son, and he is six years old. He has been having diarrhea recently, and it's very watery. He also has a fever and feels hot. He has never had a strong constitution since he was young and often catches colds and fevers. Doctor, how should I treat infantile diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Children have delicate internal organs and undeveloped physical and qi, making them easily susceptible to pathogenic invasions and blood deficiency diseases. Therefore, strict dietary requirements must be followed: avoid spicy and irritating foods, limit extremely cold and sweet, greasy foods, and try to prevent the abdomen from getting cold. You can use abdominal patches and pay close attention to keeping warm. While hospitals can prescribe many anti-diarrheal medications, use them with caution. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine massage is highly effective in treating children's diarrhea. Never give children indigestible foods.
