Patient's question:
Children's diarrhea is generally caused by extra-intestinal infections and belongs to a clinical syndrome characterized by diarrhea, primarily caused by multiple pathogens and multiple factors. According to statistics from clinical medicine in China, children's diarrhea is the second most common and frequently occurring disease after respiratory infections. So, what foods are good for children with diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a child has a weak immune system, it is recommended to cook some soups or porridge with ingredients like hawthorn, malt, millet sprouts, flat beans, Chinese yam, and duck kidneys during the autumn and winter seasons to regulate the spleen and stomach. Alternatively, after consulting a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for a diagnosis, you can add ingredients like tangerine peel, Astragalus root, or Codonopsis root if the child tends to be cold, or Ophiopogon japonicus or Coix seed if the child tends to be hot, to cook soups or porridge. This can help enhance the child's spleen and stomach function, improve immunity, and prevent digestive diseases such as diarrhea.
