What should I do if my child has diarrhea after intravenous infusion?

Patient's question:

What to do if a child has diarrhea after intravenous infusion? Cough, throat clearing, and hoarseness. In the past, they had intravenous infusion but did not have diarrhea. Wondering what to eat.

Doctor's answer:

Your baby's condition is considered to be a result of a cold, leading to a weakened immune system, allowing bacteria or viruses to enter the body and cause upper respiratory tract infection. The clinical manifestations include discomfort and pain in the throat, coughing, and phlegm. After a cold, the gastrointestinal function may be reduced, making it easier to experience indigestion again.
I recommend giving your baby plenty of warm water to drink, oral Montmorillonite, and a diet of light, easily digestible foods. Avoid extremely cold, hard, and spicy foods that may be irritating. Eat small meals frequently to prevent overeating and avoid catching a cold.
