Dr. Xie Zixing
Children with indigestion can eat zucchini. Zucchini contains abundant dietary fiber and vitamins, which help promote gastrointestinal motility. It is also easily digested and absorbed by the body, without placing additional strain on the digestive system, thereby helping to alleviate indigestion to some extent. Patients may also take medications such as Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian (a traditional Chinese medicine for promoting digestion and strengthening the stomach) under the guidance of a qualified physician. Additionally, drinking plenty of warm water is recommended.
