Patient's question:
The child is three years old now. I don't know if it's due to the bad weather recently or if they ate something wrong. The child has had diarrhea for three days. It feels like the child is suffering terribly. I want to ask what to do in this situation? What foods can children with diarrhea eat... that can help control the diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Children with diarrhea can eat easily digestible foods such as millet porridge and noodles. It is best not to eat eggs and similar foods to avoid indigestion, which can easily worsen diarrhea. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for timely examination to determine the cause of the diarrhea. If indigestion is the issue, probiotics can be taken. If it is intestinal inflammation, anti-inflammatory medications such as azithromycin can be used. It is important to drink plenty of water and eat more vegetables and fruits, while avoiding foods.
