Question
How should dietary management be handled for children with diarrhea?
Answer
The treatment principles for pediatric diarrhea include adjusting diet to prevent and correct dehydration, using medication reasonably, and strengthening care to prevent complications. It is recommended to supplement probiotics, as foods rich in probiotics can compensate for deficiencies caused by indigestion or diarrhea. For acute diarrhea, special attention should be paid to maintaining water and electrolyte balance and combating infection; for persistent or chronic diarrhea, attention should be given to intestinal flora imbalance and dietary therapy. It is suggested to conduct regular stool examinations to determine the nature of the diarrhea and use medication accordingly. If diagnosed with indigestion, probiotics and lactobacillus tablets can be taken for treatment.
