Patient's question:
My son started having diarrhea a few days ago, two or three times a day, like a watery paste, yellow-green. He also vomited after eating rice porridge at night. Can babies and young children with diarrhea eat formula milk?Doctor's answer:
Can consume formula milk. Now it is necessary to identify the cause. The primary diagnosis of the primary disease or cause of diarrhea mainly relies on evidence obtained from medical history, symptoms, signs, routine laboratory tests, especially fecal tests. In many cases, a correct diagnosis can often be made by carefully analyzing the medical history and preliminary results of the aforementioned tests. For diarrhea, you can drink some salted rice porridge, without adding meat. Meat porridge will also increase the burden on the digestive system. Although pain relief occurs after a bowel movement, the digestive system may show varying degrees of edema due to inflammation at this time. If meat and vegetables are consumed, the condition may worsen. Therefore, within two to three days after diarrhea, the diet should be light, and it is advisable to drink some plain rice porridge with a little salt added.
