Patient's question:
After getting a cold and fever last month, the baby has had digestive problems ever since. At that time, he had diarrhea every day, about eight or nine times, and the stool was watery, sometimes spraying out. What should a baby with diarrhea eat to relieve it?Doctor's answer:
The child's gastrointestinal function is not yet fully developed, and their antibacterial ability is weak. It is common for such situations to reappear. Generally, the child is in good condition, with good appetite, and satisfactory growth in height and weight. Development is normal, and no medication is needed for treatment.It is also important to pay attention to the baby's cold prevention measures to avoid catching a cold, which could lead to severe nausea and vomiting. If the nausea and vomiting are severe and the child's general condition is poor, it is recommended to give the child oral probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal system.
If the nausea and vomiting are particularly intense and the child's condition is worsening, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital to consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner or an acupuncturist for pediatric acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture treatment for nausea and vomiting is very effective, and pediatric acupuncture differs from adult acupuncture. It does not cause any harm to the child and is painless, making it safer than Western medical treatments.
