Question
How should I handle diarrhea in an 8-month-old baby? The child has been experiencing this for a long time, and I am very worried. I am afraid it might worsen, please doctor give me some advice.
Answer
Apple puree, carrot soup, and rice porridge can alleviate pediatric diarrhea. 1) When making carrot soup, first puree the carrots, then add an appropriate amount of water to make the soup. For every 500 grams of carrots, you need 1000 milliliters of water, which can make about 4 bowls. For children with early-stage diarrhea, using carrot soup for treatment can achieve a better effect. (2) Apples have fine fibers that cause less irritation to the intestines. They contain a moderate amount of adsorbents and tannins, and have low heat and fat content. This aligns with the principles of treating diarrhea. (3) Rice porridge. First, wash and dry the rice until it is half dry, then roast it to a brown color. Add 6 grams of roasted rice to 100 milliliters of water and simmer for 1 hour. The starch in the soup turns into dextrin, which is very easy to digest. Suitable for children with severe diarrhea and indigestion.
