Under normal circumstances, children with spleen deficiency and internal heat accompanied by dry stools may use medications for regulation under the guidance of a doctor. Commonly used medications include Pediatric Qixing Tea Granules, Pediatric Huashi Pills, Xingpi Nao'er Granules, Jianpi Huaji Oral Liquid for Children, and Jier Qingjie Liquid. In addition, other suitable medications may also be used under the guidance of a doctor for children with spleen deficiency and internal heat accompanied by dry stools.

Generally, children with spleen deficiency and internal heat accompanied by dry stools can use medications under a doctor's guidance to regulate their condition. Commonly used medications include Xiao'er Qixing Cha Granules (Pediatric Seven Stars Tea Granules), Xiao'er Huashi Pills (Pediatric Digestive Pills), Xingpi Yang'er Granules (Awakening Spleen for Children Granules), Xiao'er Jianpi Huaji Oral Liquid (Pediatric Spleen-Strengthening and Accumulation-Resolving Oral Liquid), and Jian'er Qingjie Liquid (Child Health Clearing Liquid). Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Xiao'er Qixing Cha Granules

Xiao'er Qixing Cha Granules are composed of ingredients such as Coix Seed, Rice Sprout, and Hawthorn Fruit. They function to stimulate appetite, relieve food stagnation, clear heat, and calm agitation. These granules help alleviate symptoms in children such as heat accumulation due to food stagnation, indigestion, poor appetite, and constipation. Therefore, they are suitable for children with spleen deficiency, internal heat, and dry stools.

2. Xiao'er Huashi Pills

Xiao'er Huashi Pills contain traditional Chinese herbs such as Fructus Crataegi (Hawthorn), Semen Hordei Fractum (Sprouted Barley Grain), and Fermented Soybean (Liu Shen Qu), which help eliminate food stagnation, clear fire, and relieve constipation. They can alleviate discomfort in children caused by stomach heat and food retention, such as abdominal distension and fullness, nausea and vomiting, and dry stools. Therefore, they can help children with spleen deficiency and internal heat-induced dry stools and can be taken under a doctor's guidance.

3. Xingpi Yang'er Granules

Xingpi Yang'er Granules are made from ingredients such as Emilia sonchifolia (Yidianhong), Gerbera anandanium (Mao Dadingcao), and Ilex asprella (Shanzhicha). They function to invigorate the spleen, nourish the blood, calm the mind, and stop diarrhea by consolidating the intestines. They are indicated for anorexia and diarrhea caused by spleen deficiency in children. However, they can also help regulate weakened digestive function due to spleen deficiency, which subsequently causes internal heat and dry stools.

4. Xiao'er Jianpi Huaji Oral Liquid

Xiao'er Jianpi Huaji Oral Liquid contains ingredients such as Ginseng (Ren Shen), Astragalus (Huang Qi), and Atractylodes (Bai Zhu), which function to tonify qi, strengthen the spleen, and resolve food stagnation. It is used to treat symptoms such as poor appetite, low energy, and constipation caused by spleen deficiency with food accumulation. It provides targeted regulation for children with spleen deficiency, internal heat, and dry stools.

5. Jian'er Qingjie Liquid

Jian'er Qingjie Liquid consists of ingredients such as Honeysuckle (Jin Yin Hua), Chrysanthemum (Ju Hua), and Forsythia (Lian Qiao), which function to clear heat and toxins, resolve food stagnation, and harmonize the stomach. It helps relieve symptoms such as cough, sore throat, poor appetite, abdominal distension, and dry stools, making it suitable for children experiencing dry stools and other discomforts caused by spleen deficiency and internal heat.

In addition, other suitable medications may also be used under a doctor's guidance for children with spleen deficiency, internal heat, and dry stools. During treatment, it is important to encourage children to drink plenty of water, consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy or irritating foods.
