How old is the baby? Can they drink milk with acute gastroenteritis?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Could you please tell me if a two-year-old with acute gastroenteritis can drink milk?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the baby currently has gastrointestinal dysfunction, so it is not recommended to eat fruits or drink milk. Both are foods that are not easily digestible, and consuming them may lead to indigestion or even incomplete intestinal obstruction. It is best to focus on consuming millet porridge and fine noodles.
There are many causes of pediatric digestive diseases. If the child is diagnosed with a digestive disorder, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
