Patient's question:
My daughter is now six months old. Recently, she often vomits, and her bowel movements have increased in frequency, with three to four times a day. The stool color is dark green, and she also cries and fusses at night. Her appetite is also poor. I am currently giving her Jian'er Xiaoshi San, twice a day, half a pack each time. However, it is not effective. Is there any good method you can recommend?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can cause diarrhea in children. In most cases, it is caused by various pathological reasons, such as: eating unclean food, pathogenic bacteria or viruses causing intestinal inflammation; consuming spoiled milk or other foods leading to gastrointestinal inflammation, resulting in vomiting and diarrhea; gastrointestinal dysfunction in children due to other systemic diseases; inability to adapt to excessive or insufficient diet, improper addition of complementary foods, weaning, or sudden changes in weather, leading to digestive disorders, etc. In some cases, children's diarrhea is unrelated to illness, and there are no other abnormal symptoms besides diarrhea.
