Question
What should a baby eat to relieve diarrhea?
Answer
Babies have not yet fully developed their gastrointestinal function and have weaker antibacterial capabilities, making diarrhea a common occurrence. If the child is in good condition, has normal appetite, and is growing normally, there is no need for medication. It’s important to keep the baby warm and avoid catching a cold, which can lead to severe nausea and vomiting. If nausea and vomiting are severe, it is recommended to take oral probiotics to regulate the gastrointestinal system. In cases of severe nausea and vomiting, it is advisable to consult a pediatrician or acupuncturist for pediatric acupuncture treatment, which has been found to be effective for nausea and vomiting. Pediatric acupuncture is different from adult acupuncture; it poses no harm to babies and does not cause pain, making it safer than Western medical treatment.
