Question

How should diarrhea be dealt with? Do you need to go to the hospital for treatment? What are the suggested methods for handling it?

Answer

During the cold winter months, people are more prone to diarrhea. To alleviate diarrhea symptoms, it’s best to choose low-fiber, low-fat, and easy-to-digest foods. If diarrhea persists for an extended period, it may lead to nutrient loss. Therefore, it’s important to select foods that can replenish nutrients without irritating the intestines. Recommended foods include grains like congee, porridge, and soft noodles; low-fiber vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, pumpkins, winter melon, and luffa, but they must be cooked thoroughly before consumption; and sweet treats like biscuits and cakes. Additionally, if the diarrhea symptoms are severe, consider seeking medical advice from a doctor. If you have any questions or need more similar tasks, I’m more than happy to help.
