1. Indigestion: Usually caused by consuming excessive amounts of indigestible food, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort due to increased digestive burden. Food remaining in the intestines may produce more heat, accompanied by symptoms such as elevated body temperature and bloating. Medications such as Shenqu Xiaoshi Oral Liquid may be administered for children according to medical advice. 2. Gastrointestinal Dysfunction: May be triggered by intolerance to certain foods, causing a series of gastrointestinal discomfort symptoms, such as postprandial fullness, nausea, vomiting, and low-grade fever. Medications such as domperidone suspension can generally be taken under a doctor's guidance. 3. Acute Gastroenteritis: Usually caused by bacterial infection of the gastrointestinal mucosa, resulting in weakened digestive function and symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Medications such as cefaclor granules may be taken according to medical instructions. It is recommended to seek examination and treatment at a正规 hospital to avoid delaying the condition.
