Can babies eat egg yolks when they have diarrhea?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms caused by baby diarrhea are due to symptoms resulting from a viral infection, such as fever, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. These symptoms are primarily aimed at reducing the occurrence of dehydration. It is recommended to promptly treat the symptoms with oral rehydration salts. Eggs are strictly not to be consumed.
