Can a 11-month-old baby with a cold and diarrhea drink formula?

Patient's question:

On February 5th of last year, I had three bowel movements yesterday. After taking probiotics, I had two bowel movements today. Can I eat formula today?

Doctor's answer:

From your description, the child's condition is due to a cold in the abdomen, which has led to nausea and vomiting. This situation can be treated with medication. Additionally, the formula needs to be diluted more. Generally, children with diarrhea can still consume formula, and this formula will not worsen the nausea and vomiting. However, be careful not to make the concentration too high. Also, by preventing abdominal colds and using probiotics, montmorillonite powder, and other anti-diarrheal medications, the child can recover more quickly.
