Hello,
Poor spleen and stomach function in infants commonly manifests in several ways:
- Decreased appetite or picky eating—your baby may refuse meals despite appearing otherwise healthy. Even if your baby eats regularly, persistent underweight or failure to thrive may indicate impaired digestion and absorption due to weak spleen and stomach function.
- Frequent constipation or diarrhea—often resulting from abnormal gastrointestinal motility and metabolism.
- A sallow, dull complexion; pale, dry, and lusterless lips.
- Lethargy, low energy, lack of vitality, excessive daytime sweating (especially on the head or back), general physical weakness, and susceptibility to recurrent colds or infections.
We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
