So let's take a look at how to regulate the spleen and stomach of children.

Symptoms of weak spleen and stomach

Children's weak spleen and stomach are mostly caused by long-term irregular diet, excessive consumption of raw and cold foods, long-term use of antibiotics or certain diseases (such as chronic pneumonia). Children with weak spleen and stomach often have yellow complexion or uneven facial pigmentation (spotted appearance), sparse hair, weight loss, brittle and thin nails with white spots, and often experience paroxysmal pain around the umbilicus, which may be mild or severe at times.

In addition to the above symptoms, children with weak spleen and stomach and internal cold have good appetite, but frequent and large bowel movements, and they have bowel movements immediately after eating.

If the spleen and stomach are weak and there is internal heat, the child will have poor appetite and dry stool (once every two or three days). This condition is mostly caused by eating too many snacks or drinking too much milk.

How to treat weak spleen and stomach

To prevent weak spleen and stomach, parents must feed their children properly, and not eat too much meat to avoid food poisoning; do not abuse some heat-clearing and fire-purging drugs, such as Isatis root granules, heat-clearing and fire-purging oral liquid, etc., so as to avoid bitter and cold foods that hurt the stomach; do not eat too much snacks, etc.

Children with weak spleen and stomach and internal coldness should develop the habit of drinking hot drinks and should not eat too much yogurt to avoid disrupting the acid-base balance in the intestine. You can eat more yam, taro, pumpkin, and coix seed, and less greasy and cold food. For home use, you can use Chinese patent medicines such as Shenling Baizhu San and Yingying Jianpi San.

Children with internal heat should eat less dry, fried, and spicy foods, drink less liquid protein foods such as milk, and eat more foods such as pumpkin, carrots, and kelp. For home medication, you can choose Xiaoer Huaji Oral Liquid to achieve the effect of clearing heat and digesting food, or take Feier Pills intermittently, which has the effects of clearing heat, digesting food and relieving constipation. Parents should remember not to overuse cold medicines just because their baby has dry stools.
