What are the symptoms of food indigestion in children

Food accumulation is a term in traditional Chinese medicine. It mainly refers to the damage to the spleen and stomach caused by children eating too much, which will cause indigestion. Food will stagnate in the stomach and intestines for a long time and will show a variety of symptoms. Because the food in the stomach and intestines is not digested normally, it often leads to the breeding of waste gas, which will cause the child to have abdominal distension, belching, acid reflux, abdominal pain and other symptoms, and often lead to dry stools. If a child shows symptoms of long-term indigestion, it will have a great impact on the child's nutritional absorption, and will affect the child's growth and development. Therefore, when indigestion occurs, it must be treated in time. Children should exercise more and drink more water.
