Doctor's answer:

Hello: Below are some examples of therapeutic diets for children:
Egg Yolk Diet: Boil eggs, remove the shells and whites, and use the yolks to cook oil in a pot over low heat. For infants under 1 year old, give one egg yolk oil per day, divided into 2-3 servings. A 3-day course is recommended for treating diarrhea, with benefits including strengthening the spleen, nourishing the stomach, and stopping diarrhea. Egg yolk pancakes steamed with a little flour and shredded ginger also have the same effect.
Apple Diet: Apples contain tannins, which have a laxative effect. Wash one apple, steam it, and eat the flesh or mash it into a paste for consumption. Each serving should be 30-60 grams, taken 3 times a day. Apple soup is also a supportive drink for treating diarrhea. Chop the apple, add 250 milliliters of water and a small amount of salt, and optionally add 5% sugar. Boil the mixture and drink it like tea. It is suitable for infants under 1 year old.
Chestnut Paste Diet: Use 3-5 chestnuts, remove the shells, mash them, and cook with water into a paste. Add sugar for flavoring and eat 2-3 times a day. It has the effect of warming the stomach and stopping diarrhea.
Additionally, orange-date tea and carrot soup also have a strengthening spleen and stopping diarrhea effect. Diets suitable for recovery include white rice porridge, noodle sheets, lotus root powder, eggs, steamed fish, and savory egg custard.
