The fastest way to eliminate food accumulation
Disease description:
My baby has some symptoms of food stagnation (indigestion). I would like to ask the doctor, what is the fastest way to relieve food stagnation?
Indigestion refers to the retention of food in the gastrointestinal tract without timely digestion, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. To relieve indigestion, effective measures should be taken to assist in the smooth digestion of food.
1. Adjust your diet: Choose light, easily digestible foods such as congee, vegetable soup, and noodles. Avoid oily and high-fat foods. Consuming more fiber-rich vegetables and fruits can help promote intestinal motility and accelerate food digestion.
2. Engage in moderate exercise: Taking a walk or performing mild physical activities after meals can enhance gastrointestinal motility and speed up digestion and absorption. Avoid strenuous exercise, as it may加重 the burden on the stomach and intestines.
3. Use digestive medications: Under a doctor's guidance, certain digestive medications or enzyme preparations may be used to aid in the breakdown and absorption of food. Traditional Chinese medicines such as hawthorn, malt, and fermented flour (Shenqu) also have digestive properties and may be used under the guidance of a TCM practitioner.
If symptoms of indigestion persist or severe discomfort occurs, seek medical attention promptly.
