Patient's question:
My child has been having severe diarrhea recently. Because of the diarrhea, my child has lost a lot of weight. However, the child simply doesn't like to eat. What should I feed my child 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 supplement with feeding, as this breast milk may have a significant impact on the child's 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 give the child porridge, as it can both moisten the intestines and promote bowel movement, while also aiding in the digestion of the child's stomach and intestines. It is recommended that you seek medical treatment promptly.
