Patient's question:
My baby has had mild diarrhea recently. Do I need to take her/him to the hospital for treatment? How long will it take to recover? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Considering your baby's digestive system disorder and poor digestion, it is recommended to keep your baby's abdomen and feet warm. The supplementary food should be light and easy to digest. Avoid raw, cold, hard, spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. Do not overfeed. Breastfeeding mothers should follow the same dietary guidelines. Probiotics can be used to regulate the baby's intestines. The diet should primarily focus on light and easy-to-digest foods, such as egg yolks, yam, chestnuts, and apples, which have a soothing effect on diarrhea. In case of severe symptoms, seek timely treatment from a professional and reputable hospital.
