What to do if your child has indigestion after eating too much

Children have poor self-control and often they will not eat a bite of food they don't like, but they can't stop eating the food they like until they feel uncomfortable. They will even keep eating if we don't stop, which eventually leads to indigestion. When this happens, we need to give the child some fruits that aid digestion, let him drink more boiled water, etc. to help him digest the accumulated food as soon as possible. He can also take some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets to help digestion.
