Question
I am a 53-year-old woman taking care of my child and I noticed that the child is feeling unwell. Please ask: Why does a two-year-old baby get gastroenteritis?
Answer
Generally speaking, it is not recommended for children around two years old to consume unpasteurized natural milk, and it is suggested to use formula milk. However, the specific causes of gastroenteritis depend on the type of gastroenteritis. If it is infectious gastroenteritis, it mainly considers bacterial or viral infections, which may not necessarily be related to drinking milk. For patients, it is important to pay attention to dietary moderation, maintain regular work and rest times, and adjust mental and physical health. In daily life, it is important to keep a good mood, eat light and soft foods, drink plenty of water, and increase the intake of vegetables and fruits. Please note that this is just a general suggestion, and the specific treatment plan should be determined according to the doctor’s guidance and the child’s specific situation. If the child’s symptoms are severe or persistent, please seek medical advice in a timely manner.
