Patient's question:
The baby is eleven months old and has had diarrhea for several days. Even after taking medicine, it hasn't improved. The diarrhea is very smelly and different from usual. What could be the reason? She is usually doing well and eating a lot. About five or six days ago, I gave her a kiwi, and that's when she started having diarrhea. How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is speculated that the baby's nausea and vomiting symptoms mentioned above are likely caused by improper diet. It could be due to eating something unsuitable or indigestible. Fruits should be consumed in moderation for children. Symptomatic treatment is recommended, and it will improve quickly. There is no need to worry too much. At the same time, pay attention to digesting fluids and replenish them promptly to prevent eating extremely cold, spicy, or easily irritating foods that can cause a "hot constitution." I hope this helps you. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
