Sometimes it's said to be enteritis, and sometimes it's called autumnal diarrhea. It has started again now. Despite multiple treatments, the diarrhea has not stopped. The medications used are Smecta and Bebentol. What should I do now?? Urgent!!! Urgent!!! Urgent!!!: Stool examination shows mild enteritis
Doctor's answer:
I. Food Therapy for Dietary Induced Diarrhea in BabiesManifestations: The baby exhibits abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and restlessness before experiencing diarrhea. The stool is foul-smelling and contains undigested milk curds, with a reduced appetite and bad breath. This type of diarrhea is more common in babies who have diarrhea accompanied by poor digestion.
Food Therapy Recipes:
Apple Soup: Wash one apple, chop it with the skin on, add 250 ml of water, and a small amount of salt. Boil the mixture and drink it like tea.
If the baby is over one year old, they can eat apple puree.
Hawthorn and Malt Drink: Take 30 grams of hawthorn, 30 grams of roasted malt, and 15 grams of brown sugar. First, gently roast the hawthorn and malt over low heat until slightly charred. Remove from heat, mix with a small amount of wine, and then roast again over the fire until dry. Add 200 ml of water, simmer for 15 minutes, strain the liquid, add brown sugar, and heat until boiling. Serve warm in several small portions.
