Patient's question:
Hello pediatrician, how should I deal with diarrhea? Do I need to go to the hospital for treatment? Please give me some good advice.Doctor's answer:
Winter weather becomes cooler, and people are prone to diarrhea. At this time, it is advisable to choose low-fiber, low-residue, low-fat, and light, easily digestible foods. If it is chronic diarrhea that lasts for a long time, it can cause certain nutritional losses in the body. Therefore, it is best to choose foods that can supplement nutrition while minimizing irritation to the intestines. Common options include grains: congee, rice porridge, fermented steamed foods, bread, soft noodles, and noodle sheets, low-fiber vegetables such as peeled carrots, potatoes, pumpkin, winter melon, eggplants, and luffa, but remember to cook them thoroughly before eating; sweet snacks: biscuits, lotus root powder, cakes, etc.
