Patient's question:
When my son was young, his digestion wasn't very good, and he often had diarrhea. Even when he liked certain foods, I wouldn't let him eat too much. Yesterday, after coming back from school, he said his stomach felt uncomfortable. Later that night, he started having diarrhea.Doctor's answer:
The digestive system of children is not yet fully developed, and their digestive capacity is weak. If they eat too much or too varied food, indigestion can easily lead to diarrhea. It is important to give children more easily digestible foods, such as green vegetables, bone broth, fish, etc. When children frequently experience diarrhea, it is necessary to give them more water, as diarrhea can deplete a significant amount of moisture in the body, which can easily cause dehydration.
