Patient's question:
Patient's Gender: My daughter is now over four months old. She has had diarrhea for two days. The medication Mimi Ai and infant spleen-strengthening powder didn't help, but after a friend recommended a medicine called Peifeikang, her diarrhea stopped immediately. However, she has been feeling weak lately. The reason for my daughter's spleen diarrhea is the addition of egg yolk paste, fish liver oil, and honey.Could you please tell me the usual dosage of Peifeikang for children and how many times a day it should be taken?
Doctor's answer:
Hello; Please follow the doctor's prescription for medication! The principle of nutritional therapy for diarrhea is to adjust the diet, stop eating high-fat and indigestible foods to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, gradually restore digestive function, and supplement vitamins and electrolytes for symptomatic treatment. It is strictly forbidden to abuse antibiotics. Actively adopting dietary therapy is very important for restoring strength. Breastfeeding mothers can adjust the feeding time to shorten it, while formula-fed infants can first be given rice water or diluted milk, such as 1/2 water and 1/2 milk, or 1/3 water and 2/3 milk, starting with small amounts and gradually increasing, from thin to thick. Easily digestible dairy products include yogurt, skim milk, and homemade skim milk (boil the milk, then remove the milk skin that floats on top).Below are a few examples of therapeutic diets for children with diarrhea:
Egg Yolk Diet: Boil the eggs, remove the shells and protein, and use the egg yolks to cook oil in a pot over low heat. Give 1 egg yolk oil per day to infants under 1 year old, divided into 2-3 servings. A 3-day course is recommended for treating diarrhea, with the effect of strengthening the spleen, benefiting the stomach, and stopping diarrhea. Egg yolk cakes 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 the skinless apple into a paste for consumption. Each serving should be 30-60 grams, taken 3 times a day. Apple soup is also a supplementary 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, 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 seasoning and eat 2-3 times a day. It has the effect of warming
