Patient's question:
The child started having diarrhea since yesterday morning and it's still ongoing until tonight. They have taken some medicine in between, but it hasn't helped. What should I feed the child now?Doctor's answer:
As the saying goes, "Disease enters through the mouth," so when a child has diarrhea, dietary regulation is also essential. Give the child apple puree, as it contains a lot of tannic acid, which can help treat diarrhea. You can also give the child more carrots, as such foods can supplement vitamins and improve the energy decline caused by diarrhea. Alternatively, you can make some wheat porridge for the child. This type of food is alkaline and can help the child recover quickly.
