Patient's question:
Doctor, my son just turned one year old. A week ago, while playing with sand, he ate a few seeds of, which he thought were sand. Three days later, he started having diarrhea.Treatment history and effectiveness: The stool test showed no virus, and the doctor prescribed Smecta and Mimi Ai. However, since he was occasionally fed oily foods and given one bottle of milk at night, his condition did not improve. Yesterday, he was examined again, and the doctor prescribed Smecta and Triphala (Bifidobacterium). The doctor also asked us to feed him white rice porridge and stop giving him milk.
What kind of help is needed: I want to ask if vegetables can be added to the white rice porridge. The baby dislikes vegetables and cries when he sees the porridge.
Doctor's answer:
Okay, white rice porridge is the same as rice, and it's softer and easier to digest.Medical advice: Personally, I believe it's best not to wean the child for now. Continue feeding them according to their usual diet. We generally recommend weaning the child when the weather is suitable and their health is good. If the child is reluctant to eat white rice porridge, you can slightly soften the rice a bit. There's no need to be too strict.
