Patient's question:
Can a child with diarrhea continue breastfeeding? As a parent, I am very worried and afraid that the child's condition will worsen. Regarding the question I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of the condition and the current situation, it is likely caused by gastroenteritis. Drink plenty of boiled water, and you can have some millet porridge. Add a moderate amount of salt and sugar to the boiled water. The mother should avoid raw, cold, spicy, and irritating foods. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding cold exposure. In this case, it is best to consume some anti-diarrheal formula, and switch back to breastfeeding or formula feeding once the condition improves. It is recommended that you take medication under the guidance of a doctor.
