Patient's question:
The yellow watery stool is quite large in quantity, and he has it right after eating. It has been happening for two days now. He is currently taking medicine prescribed by the doctor. I only feed him porridge every day, but he still has diarrhea afterward. I’m afraid he might dehydrate, so I plan to take him to the hospital tomorrow. I’ve been calling you several times. What should I add to his diet to prevent dehydration?Onset time: November 16, 2009
Test results: Autumn nausea and vomiting
What kind of assistance would you like: What should I pay attention to in terms of diet? Should I only give him soup or not feed him at all on an empty stomach?
Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is advisable to have the child drink some water with a small amount of edible salt and brown sugar added. This way, the child will not be prone to dehydration. Additionally, you can dry-fry some millet, let it cool, wrap it in a cloth, and apply it to the child's navel. This can help stop diarrhea and reduce bloating.Survival care: In this situation, the prognosis is fine, and there is no need to worry!
