What should I do if I have diarrhea after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

A child who was just born two days ago has diarrhea today. I want to ask, what should I do about diarrhea after a C-section? Is this normal? Or is it caused by an unreasonable diet? What should I pay special attention to? Or is there anything that can help relieve this situation?

Doctor's answer:

Nausea and vomiting may be caused by consuming extremely cold and unclean food, gastrointestinal inflammation, or gastrointestinal dysfunction. In this case, it is recommended to take oral absorbent antidiarrheal medication for symptomatic treatment. If nausea and vomiting are severe, you may need to take two types of antibiotics orally at the same time. Avoid extremely cold and overly stimulating foods, and pay attention to replenishing fluids. Drinking more warm water can help enhance metabolic processes.
