Question
My child is 7 months old and has been suffering from diarrhea for a week, with 5 to 6 episodes daily. Can they drink unsweetened formula milk?
Answer
The baby’s spleen and stomach are weak, unable to digest food, leading to diarrhea. Drinking milk will increase the burden on the intestines, and it is advisable to give them formula milk or breast milk. If the condition is severe, medical treatment should be sought promptly to avoid delaying the illness.
