Hello, if your child exhibits signs of impaired spleen and stomach function, it is essential to first actively identify the underlying cause. Secondly, avoid feeding your child spicy or irritating foods, and also refrain from giving them raw or cold foods. Therapeutic massage (tui na) may be used for regulation, and spleen- and stomach-strengthening medications may be administered under a physician’s guidance. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
