How to handle diarrhea in children

Patient's question:

How to deal with diarrhea in a nine-month-old child?

Doctor's answer:

Dietary regulation. Children should take as few medications as possible. If they are raised to be "medicine bottles" from a young age, their resistance will naturally be poor. Start with diet to simply and effectively combat diarrhea. Avoid feeding them high-nutrient and stimulating foods. Some parents worry that their children will lose nutrients if they have diarrhea, so they supplement them with a lot of high-nutrient foods like milk, fish, and meat. Unknowingly, this actually increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and prolongs the duration of diarrhea.
