Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and hasn't been eating much. What should children eat when they catch a cold and have diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Suggest checking the stool test to determine if it's indigestion or intestinal inflammation. Also, pay attention to whether it's caused by a cold leading to intestinal dysfunction. If it's indigestion, oral medications like Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye (Mountain Millet Strengthening Spleen Oral Liquid) and Simida can be recommended. For severe cases, consult a doctor for intravenous treatment. Extend the interval between feedings to allow the digestive system to rest. Increase fluid intake. If supplementary foods have been introduced, pause or reduce the addition of these foods. Gradually reintroduce them once symptoms improve. Avoid foods that are difficult to digest, especially during recovery.
