Patient's question:
I am a 53-year-old woman who was taking care of my child when I noticed that my child was feeling unwell. Please ask: Why does a two-year-old child get gastroenteritis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, it is not recommended for children around two years old to consume unpasteurized natural milk, and formula milk is advised instead. However, if gastroenteritis occurs due to this reason, it needs to be inferred based on the specific type of gastroenteritis. If it is infectious gastroenteritis, the primary consideration should be bacterial or viral transmission, which may not necessarily be related to the milk consumed. Then, the patient needs to maintain a regular diet, follow a consistent sleep schedule, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to keeping a good mood in daily life. It is also important to eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
