Patient's question:
My child has had diarrhea for four days. It started after getting an injection. They were given erythromycin to reduce inflammation, but then they started having diarrhea. They vomited everything they ate, so the injections were stopped. Now the diarrhea hasn't improved, and their stomach is gurgling. They are currently taking Montmorillonite and probiotics, but it's not helping. How should I feed her?Previous Treatment and Effects:
Because of the injections at the hospital, they experienced vomiting and diarrhea. The doctor said they should take medication at home to reduce inflammation. After going home, they took one dose of Cefixime and four doses of the fever reducer Anrik. After the fever subsided, they are now only taking Montmorillonite and probiotics.
Help Needed:
How should I feed her? Should I treat the diarrhea with injections?
Doctor's answer:
The following foods not only provide essential nutrients for infants but also have a certain anti-diarrheal effect.1. Rice Water: Grind rice powder or milk powder into a fine powder, stir-fry it until it turns (jiao huang - burnt yellow), then add water and enough sugar, and cook until it becomes a thin porridge. Rice water is easier to digest, and its carbonized structure not only has a good adhesive effect for stopping diarrhea but is also a must-have food for infant diarrhea.
2. Carrot Soup: Carrots are alkaline foods, and the pectin they contain can help form solid stools, sticking to harmful bacteria and toxins in the intestines. It is an excellent anti-diarrheal and antibacterial food.
