Question
My child is three years old and has recently been experiencing diarrhea. I would like to know how to handle this situation and what types of food can help control the symptoms during childhood diarrhea?
Answer
When a child has diarrhea, it is suitable to eat easily digestible foods such as millet congee and noodles, and it is not advisable to consume foods like eggs that can cause indigestion. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to check the cause of the diarrhea. If it is due to indigestion, probiotics can be considered, and for enteritis, antibiotics like azithromycin can be taken. It is also important to drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy foods.
