Can children’s indigestion be cured by taking medicine? How to deal with it?

Children have no resistance to delicious food, therefore, most children can't stop eating when they see candy or delicious food. This behavior is very bad for the child's development, because eating a lot is a heavy burden on the child's stomach, which can easily lead to gastrointestinal problems and cause great harm to growth and development. Among them, food accumulation is a typical manifestation. Food accumulation puts too much pressure on children's gastrointestinal tract, seriously affecting their digestive ability. Food accumulation also leads to symptoms such as constipation. Let's take a look at whether children's food accumulation can be cured by taking medicine? How to deal with it? I hope parents can understand this knowledge.

When children have indigestion, they will experience abdominal distension, loss of appetite, nausea, sometimes unable to vomit, lack of energy, and restless sleep. The digestive system of infants and young children is still immature. The secretion of gastric acid and digestive enzymes is relatively low, and the activity of digestive enzymes is low. It is difficult for them to adapt to large changes in the quality and quantity of food. In addition, their nervous system has poor gastrointestinal regulation and their immune function is poor. They are very susceptible to gastrointestinal diseases under the influence of external factors.

The treatment of indigestion in children should start with adjusting their diet and controlling the amount of meals appropriately. Children should first eat rice soup, noodle soup, etc., and then eat easily digestible protein foods after 6 to 12 hours. The Chinese medicine Xiaoer Huashi Pills is quite effective in treating stomach pain, poor appetite, irritability, crying, and dry and smelly stools caused by internal accumulation of milk and food, but it should not be taken for a long time and should be stopped when the disease is cured. Chicken gizzard lining is also a good medicine. At the same time, children should be allowed to do more outdoor activities to help digestion and absorption.

Therefore, parents must cultivate good eating habits for their babies, and ensure that they eat at regular times and in fixed quantities to avoid "food accumulation" in their babies.

The following dietary therapy can be used: Stir-fried hawthorn with sugar: Take an appropriate amount of brown sugar (if the baby has symptoms of fever, you can use white sugar or rock sugar instead), put it into the pan and stir-fry over low heat (to prevent burning, add a small amount of water), add an appropriate amount of pitted hawthorn, and stir-fry for another 5-6 minutes until you smell the sweet and sour taste. Let your child eat a small amount after each meal.

Yam Rice Porridge: Take 100 grams of dried yam slices, 100 grams of rice or millet (corn), and appropriate amount of white sugar. Wash the rice clean, grind it together with the yam slices, put it into the pot, add appropriate amount of water, and cook it into porridge for consumption.

White radish porridge: 1 white radish, 50 grams of rice, and appropriate amount of sugar. Wash the white radish and rice separately. Slice the radish, boil it for 30 minutes, then add the rice and cook together (if you don’t eat radish, remove the radish and then add the rice). Cook until the rice is soft and the soup is thick, add appropriate amount of brown sugar and bring to a boil.
