Question
Dear doctor, my child is six years old and has been experiencing frequent diarrhea symptoms recently. They have not consumed any inappropriate food. Although they have sought medical attention, the symptoms have recurred shortly thereafter. Currently, I am confused about the child’s dietary arrangements. How should children’s diarrhea be treated?
Answer
Hello! Frequent diarrhea in children may be related to spleen and stomach weakness or gastrointestinal dysfunction. It is recommended to use spleen-strengthening granules and probiotic granules to regulate the gastrointestinal system, while also avoiding abdominal coldness and keeping the abdomen warm. Choose easy-to-digest, light, and non-greasy foods for the diet, reduce the intake of spicy and cold foods, and drink an appropriate amount of water to prevent dehydration. Wishing your child a healthy growth!
