Question
After living in the countryside for a period of time, the child developed diarrhea, which has persisted for over 20 days. What should be done?
Answer
If an infant experiences diarrhea due to unsuitable when traveling, it is important to seek medical attention at a regular hospital immediately. Meanwhile, the following measures can be taken: administering some anti-diarrheal medication, avoiding difficult-to-digest foods as much as possible, increasing intake of fruits, vegetables, and water, feeding probiotics to aid digestion, and giving the infant easy-to-digest and nutritious foods such as yogurt and rice porridge. These measures help prevent dehydration and promote the child’s recovery.
