For a 3-year-old child with weakened spleen and stomach function, dietary therapy can be employed to improve the condition—for example, using coix seed (Job’s tears) and red beans. When necessary, medications that strengthen the spleen and stomach—such as Shen Ling Bai Zhu San—may be used under a physician’s guidance. During treatment, avoid excessively cold or cooling foods, as they may impair therapeutic efficacy or even exacerbate the condition. Additionally, closely monitor the child’s recovery progress and make appropriate adjustments accordingly.
