What are the medicines for children's gastrointestinal conditioning?

As we all know, children's body resistance and immunity are relatively weak, especially the gastrointestinal digestive system. If they have improper diet or the digestive system is infected, it is easy for the body to have various discomfort symptoms, such as: diarrhea, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, etc. Therefore, many parents will forbid their children to eat junk or unhealthy food, and will also use drugs to regulate their children's stomachs. This article briefly introduces the drugs for regulating children's stomachs.

Causes and symptoms of weak spleen and stomach in children

Children have "weak spleen and strong stomach", which means they eat a lot and digest quickly, but their absorption and excretion cannot keep up, which can easily damage the spleen and stomach over time. In addition, being picky about food, loving to eat snacks, eating too much smoked, grilled, or fried food, and not liking to eat vegetables and fruits can also cause weak spleen and stomach.

Experts point out that weak spleen and stomach can cause children to have symptoms such as anorexia, constipation, indigestion, abdominal pain and diarrhea, food accumulation and fever, bad breath, thrush, susceptibility to colds, drooling, excessive phlegm, bad temper, mental fatigue, poor sleep, obesity or emaciation, and developmental delay.
