Patient's question:
After getting a cold and fever last month, the baby has had poor digestion ever since. At that time, he had diarrhea every day, about eight to nine times, and the stool was like broken egg curd, sometimes. What foods can help relieve infant diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
The child's digestive system is not yet fully developed, and their ability to fight off infections is weak, so it's common for similar symptoms to recur. The child is generally in good condition, with good appetite, and height and weight gain are satisfactory. Development is normal, and medical treatment is not required. It's also important to pay attention to the baby's cold prevention measures to avoid severe nausea and vomiting due to cold.If the nausea and vomiting are severe and the child's overall condition is poor, it is recommended to give the child oral probiotics to help regulate the digestive system. If the nausea and vomiting are particularly intense, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital to see a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) doctor or an acupuncturist for pediatric acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture treatment for children is very effective for nausea and vomiting and is much safer than Western medical treatments. Unlike acupuncture for adults, pediatric acupuncture does not cause any harm or pain to the child.
