Can children with diarrhea eat roasted watermelon?

Patient's question:

Can a two-year-old child with diarrhea eat roasted red dates? My child has had diarrhea for two days, and I let him eat some roasted red dates. Has it had any effect? No, has it had any effect after eating?

Doctor's answer:

Diarrhea is the most common gastrointestinal disease in infants and young children. The fundamental reason for a baby's diarrhea is poor immune function and weak resistance to viruses and bacteria. When the intestines are infected, it is very easy to contract diarrhea. At the same time, if a baby is overfed during an acute diarrhea episode, it is appropriate to temporarily fast for a short period, generally not exceeding 8 hours. It is recommended to take probiotics and bentonite clay powder, and use umbilical patches. Sweet potatoes are prone to causing gas, leading to abdominal pain. Therefore, it is best not to consume them!
