Patient's question:
The child first had diarrhea, then vomiting, followed by a fever, reaching a high of 39 degrees. The doctor at the hospital said it was a cold and only gave fever-reducing medicine. The fever did go down, but the diarrhea became much worse!! The child is so weak from the diarrhea. We took him back to the hospital, and the doctor prescribed oral rehydration salts. The child's appetite has improved slightly now. May I ask if he can eat some greasy food, or should we continue with white rice porridge?Doctor's answer:
If the baby is in the stage of recovery from diarrhea, attention should be paid to the diet. It is important to ensure that the complementary foods given to the baby are relatively light and easy to digest. Considering the current situation, although the baby's appetite has improved, it has not fully recovered. Therefore, it is still necessary to pay attention to the intake of greasy foods and try to choose some light foods to prevent the baby's condition from worsening.
