Patient's question:
Female, 2 years old, has been having diarrhea these past few days. The child isn't feeling well, but they're eating properly. I'm really worried and don't know if they can drink milk or if it will affect their diarrhea. Does drinking milk affect Xiao Er's diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
From a common sense perspective, drinking milk does not affect infantile diarrhea. However, if a child drinks milk during a diarrhea episode, it is essential to heat the milk and avoid giving them cold foods. It is also important to keep them warm and avoid foods (stimulating foods). The best approach is to feed them with pure breast milk. Additionally, milk has a beneficial effect in strengthening the body, which can also help with the child's condition.
