Question
My child has contracted enteritis. What should I be careful about when feeding them during and after treatment? What should be avoided or eaten in small quantities? Thank you for the answer.
Answer
When a baby develops enteritis, it is generally considered to be caused by inflammatory infection. In such cases, it is necessary to choose some anti-inflammatory medications for treatment and follow the prescribed medication regimen. At the same time, attention should be paid to diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods. In this situation, it is first necessary to have the baby’s stool tested regularly to check for any issues with digestion. During this period, it is best to primarily feed the baby breast milk or formula milk, and try to eat as little of other complementary foods as possible to avoid adding to the gastrointestinal burden.
