Question
My baby has been experiencing diarrhea for several days now, and I’m not sure why. I don’t know what to feed her recently, and I’m worried about giving her the wrong food, which might not be good for her body. I’m really at a loss and don’t know what to do. What food should I give my child with diarrhea, doctor?
Answer
Based on the symptoms you’ve described, it seems that your baby’s diarrhea is mild. I suggest you give your child an anti-diarrheal medication such as attapulgite powder for treatment. Additionally, you should also ensure that your baby drinks plenty of water regularly to replenish fluids, prevent dehydration, and avoid electrolyte imbalance. Eat small, frequent meals rather than large ones at once, and pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm to avoid catching a cold or wind chill.
