Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what a 1.5-year-old baby should eat when they have diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea can be relieved by drinking some salted congee; it is recommended not to add meat. Meat congee will also increase the burden on the digestive system. Although the pain may ease after a bowel movement, the digestive system may experience varying degrees of edema due to inflammation at this time. If meat or vegetables are consumed, the condition may worsen. Therefore, for two to three days after diarrhea, the diet should be light, and drinking some plain congee with a little salt is advisable.There are many triggers for pediatric endocrine diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a pediatric endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with digestive relief, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
