Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng

Children with gastroenteritis can take medications such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Dropping Pills or Huoxiang Zhengqi Water under a doctor's guidance. However, these medications are only suitable for children aged 14 years or older. After administering the medication, closely monitor the child's physical condition. If other symptoms occur, follow medical advice for symptomatic treatment. Normally, the child should avoid raw, cold, spicy, greasy, or irritating foods, maintain a light diet, pay attention to portion sizes, ensure sufficient rest and sleep, and avoid worsening of the condition, which may affect the child's healthy development.
