Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Frequently having diarrhea, poor digestion, what should I do? Should I take any medicine?Past Treatment and Effect: Took Xiao'er Xingspi Yang'er Granules for several days, but it's still the same. Diarrhea is abnormal, what should I do?
Doctor's answer:
Diarrhea can be alleviated with some fruits as a supplementary treatment, but not all fruits are suitable. Apples, pomegranates, etc., can be eaten with diarrhea, while pear, watermelon, banana, etc., should be avoided. Cut the apples with skin and seeds into small pieces, boil them in water for 3-5 minutes, and eat them when they are warm. It is important to note that when eating cooked apples, adding sucrose as a sweetener is not recommended, as sucrose may worsen diarrhea. In daily life, children should be given more easily digestible foods, such as green vegetables, bone broth, fish, etc. When children frequently suffer from diarrhea, they should be given more water to drink, as diarrhea can cause significant fluid loss in the body, which may lead to dehydration.
