Abstract: Functional dyspepsia syndrome in infants and toddlers is a common gastrointestinal issue, resulting from incomplete physiological development and immature intestinal flora. Apart from feeding guidance and non pharmacological interventions, effective treatment options remain limited. To address this problem, a multidisciplinary expert team was organized to develop an integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapeutic approach for functional dyspepsia syndrome in infants and toddlers.The main clinical manifestations include poor appetite, belching, abdominal distension, increased flatulence，dry retching,vomiting, recurrent crying，abdominal pain, and abnormal bowel movements. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is categorized under “food accumulation (jī zhì)” and “anorexia (yàn shí),” and can be differentiated into three patterns: deficiency syndrome, excess syndrome, and deficiency excess complex syndrome.The consensus emphasizes that treatment should prioritize feeding guidance and non pharmacological interventions, supplemented by medication and external therapies when necessary. Health education should explain the mechanism and prognosis of this syndrome to caregivers to alleviate their anxiety. Nursing guidance highlights creating a comfortable feeding environment, keeping the infant’s abdomen warm, and incorporating techniques such as gentle massage and burping. For different symptoms, corresponding treatment methods, medications, and external therapies should be selected.This consensus is formulated based on both traditional Chinese and Western medical theories as well as evidence based practice, fully integrating the advantages of both systems to provide a comprehensive reference for the standardized management of functional dyspepsia syndrome in infants and toddlers.
