Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is now ten years old and loves fruits very much. But the past two days, for some reason, he has severe diarrhea. The doctor asked him to pay attention to his diet. So, could you please tell me what fruits are good for children with diarrhea?Doctor's answer:
Your child should not eat fruits when they have diarrhea, as it can worsen the condition. It is best to wait until the diarrhea improves before consuming fruits. During the diarrhea period, a light diet should be the foundation, and it is also important to drink plenty of warm water and take oral anti-diarrheal medication for treatment. Avoid eating raw and cold foods. In severe cases of diarrhea, intravenous fluids may be necessary to prevent dehydration and anti-inflammatory measures should be taken. Additionally, the abdomen should not be exposed to cold.
