Patient's question:
My child has been having severe diarrhea recently. Because of the diarrhea, he has lost a lot of weight. However, he doesn't like to eat much. What should he be eating now?Doctor's answer:
When a child has diarrhea, it's important to remember to feed them porridge frequently. If the child is breastfeeding, it's best not to feed them additional food, as breast milk may have a significant impact on their diarrhea. It's better to switch to formula feeding to reduce the symptoms of diarrhea. During this time, you can also give the child some dishes like tremella soup. However, it's best to feed the child porridge, as it can both moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movement, while also aiding in the digestion of their stomach and intestines.
