Association Between Use of Acid-Suppressive Medications and Antibiotics During Infancy and Allergic Diseases in Early Childhood.
Conclusion: "This study found associations between the use of acid-suppressive medications and antibiotics during the first 6 months of infancy and subsequent development of allergic disease."
This paper brought us a chance to review the physiology of pediatric digestive system in the TCM theory.
When it comes to treating pediatric digestive disorders, herbal medicine can be very helpful. Parents bring their kids with all kinds of digestive problems to us, such as loss of appetite, abdominal pain/distension, diarrhea, constipation, nausea/vomiting, and low body weight and/or height, etc. These symptoms can usually be controlled or improved by taking herbal medicine for 1-2 weeks.
My kids start taking herbal medicine when indicated at around 1-2 years old. I would prescribe herbal medicine and make the flavor enjoyable for them. Some of my little patients LOVE the taste of herbal medicine. My kids hardly take any western medicine since TCM works perfectly for them.
