Wondering what causes diarrhea in children?

Patient's question:

From 12 months old to now, he basically gets diarrhea and high fever whenever he eats something nutritious, so we have to feed him porridge. How does this relate to his hernia surgery in July 2009? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: The treatment outcome was not good. Examination results: Not thoroughly examined. What kind of assistance is needed: Please help the doctor make a guess, thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is caused by an imbalance in the baby's intestinal flora. Using probiotics usually works effectively. For diarrhea, pay attention to digesting fluids and avoid dehydration. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should be cautious about her diet. Formula should be prepared strictly according to the recommended concentration, as too thick or too thin can both cause digestive issues for the baby.
Recommendation: It is advisable to give appropriate digestive aids, such as infant digestive powder () or compound gastric protein powder (). If the baby has frequent, loose bowel movements, Simethicone () can be added. Cold compresses or abdominal massage can also be applied appropriately.
