What should I do if my child has diarrhea for 15 days and has five bowel movements a day?

Patient's question:

Nausea and vomiting for 15 days, about five times a day of nausea and vomiting, no dry heaves and low fever, accompanied by abdominal pain, generally in the navel area. Previous treatment and effectiveness: No allergies or hereditary causes. What kind of assistance is desired: I want to ask how to supplement nutrition besides taking medicine?

Doctor's answer:

A common symptom refers to a significantly reduced frequency of bowel movements compared to usual habits, with loose stools, increased moisture, daily stool output below 200g, or containing undigested food, pus, blood, or mucus.
Recommendations: For adults with mild nausea and vomiting, dietary restriction is recommended, avoiding milk, greasy, or high-fiber foods, and providing light, easily digestible semi-liquid foods. For children over 6 months old, continue their usual diet, using porridge, noodles, or soft rice, supplemented with vegetables, fish, or minced meat.
