Question
How to treat infantile diarrhea?
Answer
Infants with diarrhea can take oral Chinese medicine to strengthen the spleen and stomach, such as Jian’er Zhi Xie Granules. Take with hot water, 6 to 12 grams for children aged one to five years old. You can also use external medication like Gui’er Duan Tie, which can warm the middle, dispel coldness, and stop diarrhea. Apply one patch at the navel, and change it every 24 hours. In terms of daily care, it is recommended to offer one type of food at a time and not to give multiple types simultaneously. Do not force feeding or defecation when the child is sick or has a poor appetite.
